Outbound calling API

The dialout endpoint places an outbound call and connects it to a bot:

POST /api/v1/actions/dialout

This endpoint is documented under Bot connections > Outbound calling because placing a call is only part of the outbound calling workflow. That section also describes the events and status notifications sent to your dialer, answering machine detection, and the bot connection settings required for outbound calling.

For the request and response details, see Dialout API.

This endpoint uses HTTP Basic authentication, not the OAuth 2.0 bearer token authentication used by the rest of the REST API. For authentication requirements and examples, see Dialout API > Authentication. For information about the standard REST API authentication model, see Authentication.
