API Issue with Voicemail Detection

{
"assistantId": "x",
"phoneNumberId": "x",
"type": "outboundPhoneCall",
"customer": {
"number": "x"
},
"assistant": {
"tools": [
{
"type": "voicemail"
}
],
"voicemailDetection": {
"provider": "twilio",
"enabled": true,
"voicemailDetectionTypes": [
"machine_end_beep",
"machine_end_silence"
]
}
}
}

I keep getting:
{"message":["assistant.property tools should not exist"],"error":"Bad Request","statusCode":400}

But it looks like that's how it should be structured according to the API docs.

It seems there might be a discrepancy between the API documentation you're referring to and the actual API schema expectations. The error message indicates that the

tools

tools

property should not exist within the assistantassistant object for the request you're making.

To resolve this issue, you should remove the

tools

tools

property from the assistantassistant object and ensure that the rest of your request aligns with the API's expected schema. If the

voicemailDetection

voicemailDetection

is a valid property, you can keep it as part of the assistantassistant object, but the

tools

tools

array including the voicemailvoicemail type should be omitted.

If you're certain that the

tools

tools

property is supposed to be part of the request according to the API documentation, then there might be an error in the API itself or the documentation may be outdated. In that case, I would recommend reaching out to the API support team for clarification.

If you need further assistance with adjusting your request or contacting support, please let me know!
