Can you preload analysis data_collection items when creating an agent using an api? Or do I have to | ElevenLabs | Page 1

Short answer: You can automate it, but not in the Create Agent call itself.

What’s documented today:

Create Agent: the request schema documents conversation_config, platform_settings, name, tags, but does not document analysis/data_collection in the create payload. (elevenlabs.io)
Agents expose a data_collection block in their settings (identifiers with type, description, optional dynamic_variable/constant_value). It appears in the Agent schema returned by Get Agent. (elevenlabs.io)
You can set those via the Update Agent endpoint by PATCHing the agent with a data_collection object (same structure as shown above). (elevenlabs.io)

Practical ways to “preload”:

Create, then immediately PATCH the agent with your data_collection items. (elevenlabs.io)
Or keep a template agent that already has the desired data_collection and duplicate it for each new agent. (elevenlabs.io)

If you need exact JSON field names/types, use Get Agent to inspect a configured agent and mirror that structure in your Update request. (elevenlabs.io)
