Voice Session Summary (VSS) webhook
The Voice Session Summary (VSS) webhook is sent after a voice session ends. It provides a single end-of-session record you can use for monitoring, reporting, retries, and reconciliation.
VSS is configured per subaccount as a webhook of type VSS using the Webhooks API.
When VSS is sent
VSS is sent after the platform completes a session (success, no-answer, busy, failed, or error).
If the session cannot be created or completed, the payload may include an errorDetails object and/or sessionStatus: "ERROR".
Configure VSS (Webhooks API)
You register VSS using the Webhooks API:
- API reference: Create a new webhook
- Setup walkthrough (IVR-focused, but the Webhooks API steps are the same): Webhook Setup Guide for IVR
Example: register a VSS webhook
POST /api/v1/subaccounts/{subaccountId}/webhooks
{
"active": true,
"type": "VSS",
"url": "https://your-domain.com/voice/webhooks/vss"
}
Verify and manage VSS webhook (Webhooks API)
Check current webhook configuration

Use this to verify your VSS webhook URL is registered and enabled.
API reference: Get webhooks information
Delete VSS webhook
DELETE /api/v1/subaccounts/{subaccountId}/webhooks/VSS
Use this to remove the VSS configuration for the subaccount (for example, before re-registering with a new URL).
