Hi everyone! I’m setting up a Telnyx phone number for outbound calls in my application and would love some guidance. Context: I’ve successfully set up Telnyx for inbound calling, but I’m now working on configuring outbound calls. If anyone has experience with this setup or has run into common issues, I’d really appreciate the help! Thanks in advance!

@Samuel Hello! I'm glad to hear you've got inbound calling set up successfully. For outbound calls using Telnyx, you'll want to use the
/call/phone
endpoint to initiate calls from your Telnyx phone number. Here are some steps to guide you through the process: 1. **Authentication**: Ensure you have the correct API credentials and that you're authenticated to use the Telnyx API. 2. **Endpoint Configuration**: Use the
/call/phone
endpoint to place an outbound call. You'll need to provide the necessary parameters such as the
from
number (your Telnyx number) and the
to
number (the recipient's number). 3. **Assistant Configuration**: If you want a dynamic message for each call, specify a temporary assistant in the
assistant
field. If you're going to reuse an assistant, use the
assistantId
field with the appropriate ID. 4. **Error Handling**: Implement error handling to catch any issues that might occur during the call setup, such as network problems or authentication errors. 5. **Testing**: Before going live, thoroughly test the outbound call functionality to ensure everything works as expected. If you encounter any specific issues or need further assistance with the API parameters or troubleshooting, please let me know, and I'll be happy to help!
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.
