What is voice_start?
- It is a set of instructions sent to the API on what to do upon incoming calls.
When someone calls your virtual number, our API will lookup a parameter we call voice_start
This parameter contains instructions from you as a developer, telling what the API should do. The instructinos could either be specified as a webhook (a URL to a web script) or as a plain JSON string.
The instructions could look something like this:
- Webhook:
http://yourapp.example/new_call - JSON:
{"connect":"+46766861004"}
