FAQ

Questions about Make Outbound Call.

What does the Make Outbound Call action do in Telnyx?

Initiates an outbound voice call on the Telnyx Call Control API. Requires a Call Control App and a connection-id; the actual call flow is driven by webhook events.

What inputs does Make Outbound Call require?

Required: Call Control Connection ID, From, To. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.

Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?

Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.

What happens if Telnyx returns an error?

The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
