+# ElevenLabs, from your own webhook
+
+You already receive ElevenLabs' conversation-initiation webhook at a URL you
+own. This turns that one event into a watched call: take the `conversation_id`
+out of it, hand it to the DeepTrust client, and the monitor socket is held by
+**your** process with **your** ElevenLabs key.
+
+Nothing runs inside the agent, and DeepTrust never connects to ElevenLabs.
+
+```python
+@app.post("/calls")
+async def call_started(body: dict):
+    await monitor.watch(body["conversation_id"], user=User(id=body["caller_id"]))
+    return {"type": "conversation_initiation_client_data", "dynamic_variables": {...}}
+```
+
+That is the whole integration. The rest of this file is the four steps to see
+it run.
+
+> Prefer DeepTrust to hold the socket instead? Connect the workspace once in
+> the dashboard under Settings, Voice Agents, and you need none of this. See
+> [`../elevenlabs/`](../elevenlabs) for that path and for watching a single
+> conversation by hand.
+
+## 1. Install, and set your keys
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env     # fill in DEEPTRUST_API_KEY and ELEVENLABS_API_KEY
+uv sync
+```
+
+`DEEPTRUST_API_KEY` is an organisation key from the DeepTrust dashboard, under
+Settings and then API Keys. `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` needs the ElevenLabs Agents
+Write permission, and it must be able to see the agent that takes the call:
+agent visibility is scoped to the identity that created the key, so a key that
+cannot list your agent cannot open its monitor socket either.
+
+## 2. Turn on the two switches your agent needs
+
+Both are off by default, and both are needed. One request does the pair:
+
+```bash
+curl -X PATCH "https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/convai/agents/$AGENT_ID" \
+  -H "xi-api-key: $ELEVENLABS_API_KEY" \
+  -H "content-type: application/json" \
+  -d '{
+    "conversation_config": {"conversation": {"monitoring_enabled": true}},
+    "platform_settings": {"overrides":
+      {"enable_conversation_initiation_client_data_from_webhook": true}}
+  }'
+```
+
+`monitoring_enabled` is what the monitor socket checks. Without it the
+handshake is refused with `1008 Monitoring is not enabled for this agent`.
+
+`enable_conversation_initiation_client_data_from_webhook` is what makes this
+agent call the webhook at all. Without it an inbound call still happens and
+your webhook is simply never called, not even to be rejected. Nothing on either
+product's screen points at this flag, so an otherwise correct setup can sit
+there receiving nothing.
+
+## 3. Run the receiver, and give it a public URL
+
+```bash
+uv run python customer_webhook.py        # listens on :8090
+```
+
+In another terminal, expose it. Any tunnel works:
+
+```bash
+cloudflared tunnel --url http://localhost:8090
+# or: ngrok http 8090
+```
+
+Check it from outside before going further:
+
+```bash
+curl https://<your-public-host>/health
+{"ok":true,"watching":[]}
+```
+
+## 4. Point ElevenLabs at it
+
+The initiation webhook is a workspace-level setting, so this replaces whatever
+is in that slot. Back up the current value first if something else is using it.
+
+```bash
+curl -X PATCH https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/convai/settings \
+  -H "xi-api-key: $ELEVENLABS_API_KEY" \
+  -H "content-type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"conversation_initiation_client_data_webhook":
+        {"url": "https://<your-public-host>/calls", "request_headers": {}}}'
+```
+
+Now call the number bound to your agent.
+
+The webhook fires for telephony and messaging channels only: Twilio, SIP,
+Exotel, WhatsApp, SMS. It does not fire for the widget or for SDK sessions. For
+outbound calls, skip the webhook and pass the conversation id the outbound API
+returns.

+```
+
+The socket was open 232 ms after the webhook arrived, before the agent's first
+word. The first two turns produced nothing: risk went high only once the caller
+stacked urgency on top of an approval that could not be checked.
+
+The caller then tried a fake manager handoff and three more escalations. The
+nudge fired on each, and the agent held the line and routed the call to the
+walk-up desk.
+
+## Two honest notes
+
+**A nudge shapes the next turn, it does not interrupt.** ElevenLabs documents
+contextual updates as non-interrupting. The LiveKit adapter can stop a reply
+mid-sentence; this cannot.
+
+**Delivery is not acknowledged.** The update is written to the same socket the
+transcript arrives on, and ElevenLabs returns nothing to confirm it reached the
+model. It also does not appear in the conversation record afterwards. If you
+need proof for your own setup, send an update carrying an instruction the
+agent's prompt never mentions and see whether the agent follows it.
+
+## Connect promptly
+
+ElevenLabs replays only its last hundred or so events when a monitor connects,
+so a watcher that attaches late misses the start of the call. Starting from the
+initiation webhook is the earliest you can attach. Watching the same
+conversation twice is a no-op.
+
+## Running with no DeepTrust key
+
+`just devserver` in the repo root starts a local stand-in for the API on
+`:8080`. Point `DEEPTRUST_BASE_URL` at it to run the whole flow with no key and
+no DeepTrust account. It matches a handful of patterns rather than running the
+real analysis, which is enough to watch a finding arrive and a nudge get
+delivered.
