After saving the trunk in Vapi, you need the Trunk ID to configure Vobiz. The Trunk ID is only available via the Vapi API.

Run this cURL command to list your SIP trunk credentials:

curl -X GET "https://api.vapi.ai/credential" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_VAPI_API_KEY>"

Get your API key from Vapi Dashboard → Organization Settings.

Find the trunk matching your inbound trunk name in the response:

{
  "id": "46deea29-645d-44a3-bf42-7c6ec2d4b65c",
  "orgId": "0c147555-d9bc-41ff-8c89-82eca29f891c",
  "provider": "byo-sip-trunk",
  "gateways": [
    {
