Before you call either
Synthflow API + MCP
- Use the MCP and API base URL that matches the workspace region (Global, US or EU)
- Send destructive MCP tools again with
confirmed=trueafter a person approves - Expect 429 on call bursts, since
POST /v2/callsis limited by calls per second as well as concurrency - Read the transfer failure reason on a failed transfer before retrying it
Vogent API
- Send an
idempotencyKeyonPOST /dials, a reused key returns 409 - Create a call with
callAgentId, plustoNumberandfromNumberIdfor phone calls - Tell the model when to emit
<|transfer|>, since transfers fire on that tag - Verify webhooks with the HMAC in
X-Elto-Signature - Expect new dials to fail at the workspace's concurrent dial limit until calls end
