Answer
A Conversation ID is a unique identifier assigned to a voice session within the Vonage Voice API. It is used to track and manage voice interactions, including calls made via PSTN, SIP, and WebRTC. The Conversation ID allows you to retrieve call details, control call flow, and link multiple call legs within the same session. The Conversation is an important object that underlies much of the Vonage technology. It is a fundamental data structure for communication activities, as all communication takes place through a Conversation.
