Trigger an Outbound Call by Workflow UUID

Initiate an outbound call using a workflow's stable Agent UUID

Trigger an Outbound Agent Run by Agent UUID#

Start an outbound agent run using a workflow's stable Agent UUID

Use this endpoint when you want to start an agent run directly by its stable Agent UUID instead of through an API Trigger node.

The workflow_uuid is the workflow's Agent UUID. It is different from an API Trigger node's trigger_path.

To find and copy the Agent UUID in the UI, see Agent UUID.

Use workflow_run_id from the response to later retrieve run details, recordings, and transcripts.

Pass initial_context to inject runtime data as template variables into the agent's prompt. See Using initial context.

Pass telephony_configuration_id to route the call through a specific telephony configuration instead of your organization's default. The id is shown on each row in Telephony configurations (https://app.paladin.northmanngrp.com/telephony-configurations).
