For example:
```shell
-url -X "POST" "http://localhost:7860/daily_start_bot" \

```
+### Voicemail detection
+
+To start the bot and test voicemail detection, send a POST request to /daily_start_bot with "detectVoicemail": true in the request body.
+
+- If you only include `"detectVoicemail": true`, the bot will not dial out. Instead, you can test it in Daily Prebuilt by visiting the URL provided in the response.
+- If you include both `"detectVoicemail": true` and a phone number under `"dialoutNumber"`, the bot will dial out to that number.
+
+Example: Testing in Daily Prebuilt:
+
+```shell
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:7860/daily_start_bot" \ py pipecat
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"detectVoicemail": true}'
+```
+
+Example: Testing with Dial-Out:
+
+```shell
+curl -X POST "http://localhost:7860/daily_start_bot" \ py pipecat
+ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+ -d '{"dialoutNumber": "+18057145330", "detectVoicemail": true}'
+```
