Hey everyone, so I'm using the recommended Voicemail setup with Twilio and the default tool, but what happens is the outbound assistant reads the first message, then the one seconed later starts saying the voicemail message. Has anyone else had this problem? Side note: I know that Voicemail is set to false. I got frustrated with it, so right now, it's off till I get it fixed. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1346657466754273300/1346657466909196330/image.png?ex=67c8fbff&is=67c7aa7f&hm=6a9c0d65968b755080010859a7e5db83ee04f9ef6afa1cdd3f4d365eb17efc3e&

Hey there! It sounds like you're experiencing a frustrating issue with the outbound assistant reading the voicemail message even when voicemail detection is set to false. This can happen if the system is misinterpreting the call flow or if there are timing issues with the detection settings. Here are a few things you can check or try to resolve the issue: 1. **Check the Timing Settings**: Since your
machineDetectionTimeout
is set to 15 seconds, it might be worth experimenting with a shorter timeout. Sometimes, longer timeouts can lead to misinterpretations of the call state. 2. **Review the Configuration**: Ensure that the voicemail detection settings are correctly configured. Since voicemail is set to false, the assistant should not be processing voicemail messages. Double-check that there are no conflicting settings elsewhere in your configuration. 3. **Test with Different Scenarios**: If possible, try testing with different call scenarios to see if the issue persists. This can help identify if it's a specific type of call or message that's causing the problem. 4. **Consult Documentation**: If the issue continues, reviewing Twilio's documentation on voicemail detection and call handling might provide additional insights or updates that could affect your setup. If you need more detailed guidance, feel free to share your configuration, and I can help you troubleshoot further! 😊 Sources: - [Twilio Voicemail Detection Documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/phone-calling/voice-mail-detection) - [Twilio Call Handling Configurations](https://docs.vapi.ai/calls/call-ended-reason)

Could you clarify if the issue occurs consistently with all calls or only under specific conditions? Also, have you tried adjusting the
machineDetectionTimeout
to see if it affects the behavior? Sources: - [Twilio Voicemail Detection Documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/phone-calling/voice-mail-detection) - [Twilio Call Handling Configurations](https://docs.vapi.ai/calls/call-ended-reason)

Hey! To help track down this issue, could you share: - The call ID - What response you expected to get - What response you actually got instead This would really help us figure out what went wrong!

Sure thing I got a few
f36293b2-25c8-449d-ac72-0367d3f745be here’s the ID the first message plays fine but then the voicemail message plays right after
It should just be either the customer get transferred or they set up a call back time
