The remaining columns will be used to populate your Retell agent\u2019s dynamic variables.\n- All fields are returned as strings to Retell (variables are replaced as text)\n\n## How it works\n- The webhook call is received from Retell. We filter the call using their whitelisted IP address.\n- It extracts data from the webhook call and uses it to retrieve the user from Google Sheets.\n- It formats the data in the response to match Retell's expected format.\n- Retell uses this data to replace [dynamic variables](https://docs.retellai.com/build/dynamic-variables#dynamic-variables) in the prompts.\n\n\n## How to use it\nSee the description for screenshots!\n- Set the webhook name (keep it as POST).\n- Copy the Webhook URL (e.g., `https://your-instance.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/retell-dynamic-variables`) and paste it into Retell's interface. Navigate to \"Phone Numbers\", click on the phone number, and enable \"Add an inbound webhook\".\n- In your prompt (e.g., \"welcome message\"), use the variable with this syntax: `{{variable_name}}` (see [Retell's documentation](https://docs.retellai.com/build/dynamic-variables)).\n- These variables will be dynamically replaced by the data in your Google Sheet.\n\n\n## Notes\n- In Google Sheets, the phone number must start with `'+'`.\n- Phone numbers must be formatted like the example: with the `+`, extension, and no spaces.\n- You can use any database\u2014just replace Google Sheets with your own, making sure to keep the phone number formatting consistent.\n"}, "typeVersion": 1}, {"id": "55b087bf-d51f-4660-94c7-3742915ff79b", "name": "Sticky Note3", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [-220, -120], "parameters": {"color": 5, "width": 220, "height": 300, "content": "Change the path if needed"}, "typeVersion": 1}, {"id": "bd6a7c81-5125-4f46-a1ba-86029d3a0eda", "name": "Sticky Note", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [80, -120], "parameters": {"color": 5, "width": 220, "height": 300, "content": "Replace with your own Google Sheets, including the dynamic variables of your Retell Agent"}, "typeVersion": 1}, {"id": "7105c832-ffbe-4d36-90ec-b8c868388c4e", "name": "Sticky Note2", "type": "n8n-nodes-base.stickyNote", "position": [380, -120], "parameters": {"color": 5, "width": 220, "height": 300, "content": "Adapt the response to match your Retell dynamic variables"}, "typeVersion": 1}], "pinData": {}, "connections": {"Webhook": {"main": [[{"node": "Get user in DB by Phone Number", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}, "Get user in DB by Phone Number": {"main": [[{"node": "Respond to Webhook", "type": "main", "index": 0}]]}}}
