Hello i got a problem when i pick up the vapi call from assistant, i want a minimum delay of 3secondes how i can do with API plz

To add a 3-second delay before your assistant speaks after you pick up the call, set the

waitSeconds

parameter in your

startSpeakingPlan

like this:

json
{
  "startSpeakingPlan": {
    "waitSeconds": 3.0
  }
}

This will ensure the assistant waits at least 3 seconds before responding after call pickup. For more details, see the official documentation on [voice pipeline configuration](https://docs.vapi.ai/customization/voice-pipeline-configuration).
