Tools Assistants. How to pass parameter to api tool
I see no way from asistants to send a parameter to my api type tool that sends a whatsapp. Specifically I need to send the phone number of the call (in workflows: {{phone_number}} ).

I'm using {{customer.number}} to send the caller's number to my api. I haven't found a way to get the called phone number to pass as a reliable variable, so I'm making an api call to my database where I'm grabbing any additional data I might need (called phone number in this case) and then I can use all that data again throughout the conversation. Def an extra step, but it's the only way I could reliably make it work.. Hope that helps..

@MRepublic I did the test with customer.number and it worked thank you very much, the only problem is that it sent a whatsapp to a random phone, hehe, it's not reliable at all. It may have been because of calling from the assistant, I will try by real phone.

Yes, def test via a real phone. Otherwise it will just make things up sometimes, LOL! Glad I could help!
checking if this is resolved/solved for you?
