How to use Background Messaging
# general-englishe

05/14/2024, 10:17 PMThe Background Messaging feature looks promising (https://docs.vapi.ai/assistants/background-messages)
I'd like to do some background processing on the transcript and then insert it into the Chat History
1. Can this be done on an Outbound Call via the API in response to a Call Status Update?
2. If I insert a System message, will that overwrite the existing System message?
Would love to see any examples of Background Messaging being used
Thank you

09/22/2024, 5:09 AMI am having some issues with background messaging too. It really isn't "background". The assistant is always interrupted when I send a background message (role: system) but I expect the behaviour to just include the background message in the context of the call without any specific acknowledgements. Has anyone found a fix to this?
