IMPLEMENTATION

Connect a user's Vapi account once, then configure and run Create Call from your backend or agent.

import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"

const pd = new PipedreamClient({
  projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const result = await pd.actions.run({
  id: "vapi-create-call",
  externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
  configuredProps: {
    vapi: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
    name: "Conversation Name",
    assistantId: "Assistant ID",
  },
})

console.log(result)
