    Creating an Agent for Phone Calls

    1. Go to https://elevenlabs.io/app/agents 2. Click "Create Agent" 3. Configure: - Name: e.g., "Appointment Scheduler" - System Prompt: Instructions for how the agent should behave - First Message: What the agent says when the call connects - Voice: Select a voice - LLM: Choose a language model 4. Save and note the Agent ID

    Example System Prompt for Scheduling

    You are calling on behalf of [User Name] to schedule a vehicle service appointment.

    Your goal: 1. Introduce yourself and state the purpose (schedule Honda Odyssey inspection) 2. Request a morning appointment next week 3. Confirm the date/time offered 4. Provide contact info if asked: [phone] and [email]

    Be polite, concise, and professional. If asked questions you can't answer, say you'll have the owner follow up.

    Dynamic Variables

    Pass context to your agent using dynamic variables:

    {baseDir}/scripts/call.sh \
      --agent abc123 \
      --phone phone_xyz \
      --to "+15121234567" \
      --vars '{"customer_name":"Nat","vehicle":"Honda Odyssey","preferred_time":"morning next week"}'
    

    Reference these in your agent's system prompt as {{customer_name}}, {{vehicle}}, etc.
