Question

What is a Call UUID?  Why is Vonage asking me for the Call UUID?

Applies To

  • Voice API

Answer

A Leg connects a User with a Conversation and enables voice or video to flow over a certain Channel. Every time a Leg is created, it is assigned a unique ID.  That unique ID is the Call UUID and is the primary identifier used by Vonage to investigate both successful and failed calls.

All requests to the Voice API will provide feedback and often include the Call UUID.  Here is an example Call UUID (in bold) which is provided as feedback as soon as a call is made.  

{
"uuid":"6e99f55d-b46b-4c78-9d23-1570f1cd0501",
"status":"started",
"direction":"outbound",
"conversation_uuid":"CON-919c5175-53ca-4982-9460-a98ce81f6d9e"
}
