How to access context variables from the inbound webhook in API calls during and after conversations

When you need to pass context data (such as call IDs) in API calls made through tools during a conversation, you can access context variables given to fonio in the inbound webhook using a specific syntax.

Accessing Context Variables

If you have data passed through an inbound webhook, you can access it in your API calls and post-call API processing using the following format:

• Data passed via inbound webhook as {{id}} can be accessed in post-processing with {{context.id}}

Example Use Case

For instance, if you're sending a call ID through your inbound webhook and want to include it in dynamic parameters of an API call during the conversation:

1. Pass the ID through your inbound webhook using {{id}}

2. In your API call's dynamic parameters, reference it as {{context.id}}

This allows you to maintain the connection between your system-generated IDs and the API calls made during the conversation, ensuring proper tracking and data flow between systems.
