Hey team! Quick question about using imported Twilio numbers for outbound calls:
Scenario:
- I have a Twilio number with a custom webhook (for my inbound call handling)
- I want to use VAPI's create_call() API for outbound calls on the same number
- I imported the number to VAPI and got a phone_number_id
Issue:
When I import the number, VAPI changes the "A Call Comes In" webhook in Twilio to VAPI's URL. This breaks my inbound flow.
Question:
If I import the number (to get phone_number_id for outbound), but then change the webhook BACK to my custom URL in Twilio console:
1. Will VAPI outbound calls via create_call() still work?
2. Will VAPI automatically change the webhook back to VAPI's URL at some point?
I tested this and outbound worked fine after changing the webhook back, but want to confirm it's safe for production.
Is there a recommended way to use the same number for both VAPI outbound calls AND custom webhook inbound calls?
Thanks!
