Validation Error

• ringing_timeout_secs (integer, optional, default: 60) — How long to ring the recipient before giving up, in seconds. Note that this will also be limited by the provider's own constraints.
• twilio_call_recording_enabled (boolean, optional, default: false) — Whether to record the call using Twilio call recording. Ignored for non-Twilio providers. Recordings are stored in your Twilio account.
• twilio_machine_detection (TwilioMachineDetectionConfig, optional, nullable) — Configuration for Twilio's carrier-level answering machine detection (AMD). Omit or set to null to disable it. Ignored for non-Twilio providers and for inbound calls. The resulting verdict is delivered as its own answering_machine_detection webhook event, which requires that event to be enabled on the workspace or agent webhook settings; it is not part of the conversation or the post-call webhook. Detection runs asynchronously so it never delays the start of the conversation, and the verdict can arrive at any point during the call -- with detect_message_end, even after it has ended. Twilio bills separately for AMD.
