question: deepgram flux configure message support
# support
w
does vapi support "Send a Configure message to update Flux stream settings in real-time without reconnecting" feature from deepgram flux? ref: https://developers.deepgram.com/docs/flux/configure
r
not really. Vapi supports Deepgram Flux, but the configuration is set upfront. The real-time “Configure” message from Flux (for updating settings mid-stream without reconnecting) isn’t exposed through Vapi since it abstracts the streaming layer. So if you need that level of live control, you’d have to work directly with Deepgram’s WebSocket instead of relying fully on Vapi. @wraithunder

This feature is not currently supported. Vapi's Deepgram Flux implementation sets all stream parameters (keyterms, language hints, EOT thresholds, etc.) at connection time only - there's no ability to send a mid-stream Configure message to update settings dynamically without reconnecting.
Hi, Thanks for the detailed question and the reference link!

No, Vapi doesn't support Deepgram Flux's mid-stream Configure message. Vapi manages the Deepgram WebSocket internally — you can't send control messages to it directly. Workaround: Use a Custom Transcriber to handle the Deepgram connection yourself, giving you full control to send Configure messages mid-stream. Or submit it as a feature request on the Vapi community forum.

ah ok thanks for the answer, I'll look into custom transcriber then 👍

Great! If you run into any hurdles while setting up the Custom Transcriber, you can find the technical specifications in our documentation here: https://docs.vapi.ai/customization/custom-transcriber
I'll go ahead and close this for now, but feel free to open a new ticket if you have more questions as you build.
