Integrations
An integration connects your own provider account to Vapi, so a provider runs on your credentials instead of Vapi’s. Use one when you want to run a provider on your own account, for example to use your own plan, rate limits, or custom models. This guide shows you how to add a provider’s credentials to Vapi.
How it works
By default, Vapi provides access to its supported providers, so you can select a voice, model, or transcriber on an assistant without any setup. You only add an integration when you want to use your own account with a provider.
When you add your own credentials for a provider, Vapi uses your account with that provider. If you don’t add an integration, Vapi’s default access is used.
Prerequisites
- An account with the provider you want to connect.
- That provider’s API key or credentials.
Steps
Verify it works
After you save, the dashboard shows the provider as connected. Select the provider on an assistant and start a call or chat to confirm it runs on your account.
