The <Redirect> verb transfers control of a call to the TwiML at a different URL. All verbs after <Redirect> are unreachable and ignored.
The <Redirect> verb supports the following attributes that modify its behavior:
| Attribute Name | Allowed Values | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| method | GET, POST | POST |
The 'method' attribute takes the value 'GET' or 'POST'. This tells Twilio
whether to request the <Redirect> URL via HTTP GET or POST. 'POST' is the default.
Use it in a <Redirect> verb like so:
const VoiceResponse = require('twilio').twiml.VoiceResponse;
const response = new VoiceResponse();
response.redirect({
method: 'POST'
}, 'http://pigeons.com/twiml.xml');
console.log(response.toString());
using Twilio.TwiML;
using Twilio.Http;
using System;
class Example
{
static void Main()
{
var response = new VoiceResponse();
response.Redirect(new Uri("http://pigeons.com/twiml.xml"), method: HttpMethod.Post);
Console.WriteLine(response.ToString());;
}
}
<?php

</Response>
The "noun" of a TwiML verb is the stuff nested within the verb that's not a verb itself; it's the stuff the verb acts upon. These are the nouns for <Redirect>:
| Noun | TwiML Interpretation |
|---|---|
| plain text | An absolute or relative URL for a different TwiML document. |
No verbs can be nested within <Redirect> and <Redirect> can't be nested in any other verbs.
In this example, we have a <Redirect> verb after a <Dial>
verb with no URL. When the <Dial> verb finishes, the
<Redirect> executes. <Redirect> makes a request to http://www.foo.com/nextInstructions and
transfers the call flow to the TwiML received in response to that request.
