I’d like to know how I could manage it to set up the idle message in another language than English? because we are in Germany here and it doesn’t feel that good to have an English speaking idol message, but I noticed that you don’t have the opportunity to change the language inside of the dashboard.

@Exideus_Systems Absolutely, I can guide you through the process of setting up an idle message in German. Since the language configuration in the voice section is deprecated, you'll need to select a voice that supports German from your voice provider. Here's what you can do: 1. Go to your voice assistant's settings. 2. Look for the section where you can choose a voice for your assistant. 3. From the list of available voices, select a voice that supports the German language. 4. Once you've chosen the German voice, you can then set up your idle message using that voice. If you need assistance in selecting a German voice or have any other questions, please let me know!

hei, use the API

That doesn’t make sense because I already have German speaking agents, but if I’m going to the advanced settings to idle messages, they are just kind of templates in English language, and this is spoken in English and not in German.

@Exideus_Systems I understand the confusion. If the idle message templates are only available in English, you will need to create a custom idle message in German. Here's what you can do: 1. Write the message you want to be spoken when the assistant is idle in German. 2. Access the advanced settings where you configure idle messages. 3. Replace the default English template with your custom German message. 4. Ensure that the voice selected for your assistant supports German, as this will allow the message to be spoken in the correct language. If the system does not allow you to input a custom message directly, you may need to use an API call to update the idle message. In that case, you would use the PATCH method to send the updated message plan to the assistant's configuration. Should you need further assistance with the API call or have any other questions, please let me know!

Sry I dont understand that 🙂

are you familiar with API?

Somehow

thinga i normally do:

But where shall I add this? Sry im still learning @User

you need to use the API, do you kno Postman?

I inow it but never used it

oh, ok

I am studying everyday to learn more

yu need to get confident with api and postman, once you do this it will pretty easy to undesratsn my instructions

Same problem here. Is there any Youtube Video how to handle the API?

@Exideus_Systems You can set the custom idle messages using API. Here's what you need to do:-

curl -X POST https://api.vapi.ai/assistant \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer " \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
  "messagePlan": {
    "idleMessages": [
      "first-idle-message-in-your-langauge",
      "second-idle-message-in-your-langauge"
    ],
    "idleMessageMaxSpokenCount": 3,
    "idleTimeoutSeconds": 5
  }
}'

Ref: https://docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/assistants/create?playground=%2Fapi-reference%2Fassistants%2Fcreate

So youre saying it is possible to integrate 2 different idle messages?

Vapi will choose randomly from one of them.

2 or more

I successfully made a get call with postman. How can I set the idle message? with patch? How do I choose the right assistent? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1311607535903707216/1312790892163366993/image.png?ex=674dc74b&is=674c75cb&hm=f663d663ade7856c55e9372400e56822d2ff3d23c1473902e94a562be5b97968&

@Claudio Pillath here's the sample CURL :

curl -X POST https://api.vapi.ai/assistant \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer " \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -d '{
  "messagePlan": {
    "idleMessages": [
      "first-idle-message-here"
    ]
  },
  "model": {
    "provider": "openai"
  }
}'

That doesn't work

You need to pass the aut key as well. check this https://docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/assistants/create?playground=%2Fapi-reference%2Fassistants%2Fcreate

Auth Key is there... beside the white box? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1311607535903707216/1313495729817522276/image.png?ex=675057b9&is=674f0639&hm=8fd1755f76371c3c3e0f1255238022028ec543229452532b837d7445eeebb0f7&

@Claudio Pillath you are sending auth key that's why your getting the error message, try using the API reference and then you can find out the diff.
