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.
