Create an Application

Latest Legacy

Creates an Application. Creating an application is usually a first step, after which you attach the application to either a number or an endpoint.

API Endpoint

POST https://api.plivo.com/v1/Account/{auth_id}/Application/

Arguments

answer_url required string	The URL fetched when a call executes this application.
app_name required string	The name of your application. Allowed Values: Alphabets (upper case and lower case) Numbers (0-9). Only 2 special characters, i.e. "-" (hyphen) and "_" (underscore)
answer_method string	The method used to call the answer_url. Defaults to POST.
hangup_url string	The URL notified when the call hangs up. Defaults to answer_url.
hangup_method string	The method used to call the hangup_url. Defaults to POST.
fallback_answer_url string	Invoked by Plivo only if answer_url is unavailable or the XML response is invalid. Should contain an XML response.
fallback_method string	The method used to call the fallback_answer_url. Defaults to POST.
message_url string	The URL notified when an inbound message is received. Defaults not set.
message_method string	The method used to call the message_url. Defaults to POST.
default_number_app boolean	If set to true, this parameter ensures that newly created numbers that don't have an app_id point to this application.
default_endpoint_app boolean	If set to true, this parameter ensures that newly created endpoints that don't have an app_id point to this application.
subaccount string	ID of the subaccount that this application is associated with.
log_incoming_messages boolean	If set to false, the content of incoming messages to Plivo phone numbers associated with this application are not logged in Plivo systems, including the debug logs available on the Plivo console. Additionally, the last three digits of the "from" number are redacted in all system logs and in the Message Detail Record (MDR) of the incoming message. Defaults to true when not specified. Note that non-redacted content and "from" number are always passed to the the message_url irrespective of the value set for this flag.
