Applies To

  • Vonage Voice API
  • Developers creating voice applications
  • Interactive Voice Response (IVR) systems
  • Call recording and management solutions

Answer

An NCCO (Nexmo Call Control Object) is a JSON array used by Vonage's Voice API to dictate the flow of voice calls. They are the building blocks for working with the Vonage Voice API. NCCOs define actions like audio playback, call recording, or IVR, executed during a call. This scripting of call logic allows for flexible and sophisticated voice applications, from simple notifications to complex interactive systems.
