Voice Call Action Webhook

Call action events prompt the customer to take an action to change the call flow. Your "Voice Call Action" (VCA) endpoint can be configured on the sub-account level with the IVR productWebhooks.The structure of the Call Action event object is identical to that of Call Status event. However the expected response is different.
