Calls
Voicemail detection
Handle answering machines on outbound calls. Decide when the AI should leave a message.
voicemail_detectionbooleandefault true- Detect answering machines on outbound calls.
voicemail_messagetext- Left as a voicemail when a machine answers. Supports variables.
When detection is on and a machine answers:
- With a voicemail message, the assistant leaves it and hangs up.
- Without one, the call hangs up straight away.
Either way the outcome and end reason are voicemail. In a campaign the contact is marked voicemail. For reminders, the reminder text has already gone out, so nothing is lost.
