TwiML Redirect

Description:

TwiML Redirect allows you to redirect a Voice Call to be handled outside of Studio and optionally return control back to Studio.

Returning control to Studio

To handle returning control to Studio, you need to specify a <Redirect> to the Studio Webhook URL and append ?FlowEvent=return. Any additional parameters specified in the return URL will be injected into the Studio context and addressable via Liquid template variables.

Example:

<Response>
  <Say>Returning you back to the Studio Flow.</Say>
  <Redirect>https://webhooks.twilio.com/v1/...?FlowEvent=return&foo=bar</Redirect>
</Response>

The URL parameter foo illustrated above will be passed automatically into your Flow and can be referenced via Liquid as {{widgets.your_redirect_widget_name.foo}}.

Tip: To retrieve the Studio Webhook URL, in your Studio flow, click the red Trigger widget. The URL starting with https://webhooks.twilio.com/v1/... is the Webhook URL.
