To dynamically enable voicemail detection and generate a message via the API, you can use the 
voicemailDetection
configuration with a dynamic variable:
Copy code
json
"voicemailDetection": {
  "provider": "twilio",
  "voicemailDetectionTypes": [
    "machine_end_beep",
    "machine_end_silence",
    "human",
    "fax",
    "unknown",
    "machine_end_other"
  ],
  "enabled": info.info.agent.voicemail,
  "machineDetectionTimeout": 45
},
"voicemailMessage": info.info.agent.voicemail_message
Update this configuration using a PATCH request to 
https://api.vapi.ai/assistant/{assistant-id}
. Sources: - [Discord Channel](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1336548894896816222) - [Discord Channel](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1334597630235512956) - [Discord Channel](https://discord.com/channels/1211482211119796234/1336424026486079559)
To dynamically enable voicemail detection and set a custom message, add the 
voicemailDetection
configuration in your API request to the 
/call
endpoint:
Copy code
json
{
  "assistantOverrides": {
    "voicemailDetection": {
      "provider": "twilio",
      "voicemailDetectionTypes": ["machine_start", "machine_end_beep"],
      "enabled": true,
      "machineDetectionTimeout": 15
    },
    "voicemailMessage": "Hello, I'm calling about your appointment. Please call us back at 555-123-4567."
  }
}
This enables Twilio's voicemail detection and sets a custom message to be played when voicemail is detected.

Why would you have the tool generate the message when you can just create the message you want to say? Akso trying to have a tool generate a voicemail message does not make much sense at all.
k
Configure the voicemailDetection settings in your assistant’s configuration and set the voicemailMessage property, then ensure the VoicemailTool is included in your assistant’s tools.

I am now generating dynamic message and pushing that into assistant so that my voice mail message depends on customers
k
You can use dynamic variables in Vapi to personalize voicemail messages by passing customer-specific data via assistantOverrides when initiating a call.
