Create Outgoing Call

Node that places an outbound call from a connected phone number and waits for it to be answered.

What it does

Dials an outbound phone call and waits until the call is answered by a human or voicemail. Debug runs place real calls, billed by your provider like any other.

The node is labeled Create outgoing call in the Tool > Voice tools category of the node palette. An outbound Flow runs Create outgoing call → Voice Agent → End Call.

Configuration reference

Field	Required	Default	Description
From	Yes	None	The originating number. The picker lists connected numbers with a direction of Outgoing or Both. See Deployment on how to configure a phone number.
To	Yes	None	The destination number, in E.164 format — for example, [phone]. The field opens in fixed-value mode; switch it to expression mode to bind a variable.

If either field is empty, the run fails with From number is required or Destination phone number is required.

Output variables

Path	Type	Description
output.callContext.type	string	Call medium: phone or web. Only phone is supported today.
output.callContext.id	string	The provider-side call identifier.
output.callContext.conversationId	string	The UUID of the conversation associated with this call.

Bind $vars.<node>.output.callContext to the Call context field on the Voice Agent and End Call nodes. For example, use $vars.createOutgoingCall1.output.callContext.
