Hi there! I've already seen a related ticket, but it was more about the messagePlan that was removed from the API. So, I'm specifically asking about the Idle messages: Is there any plan to reintroduce custom idle messages anytime soon? I'm using German bots and therefore cannot use the English presets in the dashboard (it would feel very scammy if the bot suddenly changed languages). Idle msg. documentation and the official Python/TS server packages still include idle message API fields. Thanks - great product you guys built!

Currently, there is no official update or plan documented to reintroduce custom idle messages (or the messagePlan for idle messages) in the API or dashboard. Only English presets are available for idle messages in the dashboard at this time. If you want to adjust idle message behavior, you can enable the idle message count reset feature (though this does not address language customization):

json
"messagePlan": {
  "idleMessageResetCountOnUserSpeechEnabled": true
}

For the latest updates, keep an eye on the [Vapi changelog](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog). Sources: - [Changelog April 18, 2025](https://docs.vapi.ai/changelog/2025/4/18) - [API Reference: Assistants](https://docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/assistants/list)

The API fields may be present still, but currently there are no plans to reintroduce it
