what does the client and server messages list under the messaging section of the dashboard do? What happens if i remove some options?

Client and server messages lists in the dashboard control which types of events (like

conversation-update

,

function-call

,

hang

, etc.) are sent to your Client SDKs and Server URL, respectively. If you remove some options from these lists, those specific message types will no longer be delivered, meaning your application won't receive those events or data updates. For example, if you remove

transcript

from the client messages list, your client app will not receive live transcript updates. This allows you to tailor which events your app or backend receives, but be careful not to remove message types your workflow depends on.

@Vapi Support Bot so if i remvoe speech update and conversation update, those messages wont fire to the server URL I gave? but what about the client SDK where is that and what is that? and secondly will any functionality within the bot break if i remvoe those?

If you remove

speech-update

and

conversation-update

from the server messages list, those events will not be sent to your server URL. The client SDK is typically used in your frontend or app to receive real-time updates—removing these messages from the client messages list will prevent your app from receiving them as well. Tip: Only remove message types if you are sure your workflow does not depend on them, as removing critical events can break features that rely on those updates (e.g., live transcripts or status changes) ([Vapi documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/api-reference/assistants/update?explorer=true)).
