Hello Support Team, I’m reaching out regarding the answerOnBridge parameter. From my understanding, this option is not currently exposed in the Vapi. Could you please confirm if there are any workarounds or upcoming plans to support it directly? If not, I’d appreciate guidance on how best to configure this on the Twilio side, or any documentation you can share to help with the setup. Thank you for your assistance. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1450276638167400620/1450276638376984730/Screenshot_2025-12-16_100111.png?ex=6941f2df&is=6940a15f&hm=fd5dd1a0390c5f0648b7a094cff09a51c51bd12bd81a6ae175e79653d28159f6&

You are correct—**Vapi does not currently expose the

answerOnBridge

parameter**. As a workaround, you can handle this on the Twilio side by creating your own

/conference

endpoint and generating TwiML directly. Here’s a sample Express.js route to place callers into a conference (where you can adjust TwiML attributes as needed):

js
app.post("/conference", (req, res) => {
  const VoiceResponse = twilio.twiml.VoiceResponse;
  const twiml = new VoiceResponse();
  const dial = twiml.dial();
  dial.conference(
    {
      startConferenceOnEnter: true,
      endConferenceOnExit: true,
      // answerOnBridge: true, // Add here if needed
    },
    "my_conference_room"
  );
  return res.type("text/xml").send(twiml.toString());
});

This lets you control TwiML attributes directly in your own server logic, bypassing Vapi's current limitations.
