<@1145576664366055464> is there a dynamic variable to capture the call id?

Thanks for tagging me <@1090421679248904353>. I'll look through relevant sources and get back to you shortly.

### Answer
 Yes, there is a system variable `{{call_id}}` that captures the current call session id [(1) ](<https://docs.retellai.com/build/dynamic-variables>) . This is one of the default system variables that Retell automatically provides for phone calls .

The `{{call_id}}` variable returns the unique identifier for the current call session, for example: `call_12345678906eaa0222bd3dd2a6c` .

You can use this variable in your prompts, begin messages, tool configurations, or other supported fields by typing `{{call_id}}` .
