Create SWML webhook

View as MarkdownOpen in Claude

Creates a resource that requests calling or messaging SWML from your server when the handler runs. Use it when instructions must be generated from current application state; use Create SWML Script when the SWML can be stored in SignalWire, or Create cXML webhook when the server returns cXML.

Permissions

The API token used to authenticate must have the following scope(s) enabled to make a successful request: Voice, Messaging, Fax, or Video.

Learn more about API scopes.

Authentication

AuthorizationBasic

SignalWire Basic Authentication using Project ID and API Token.

The client sends HTTP requests with the Authorization header containing the word Basic followed by a space and a base64-encoded string of project_id:token. The project ID will be used as the username and the API token as the password.

Example:

Authorization: Basic base64(project_id:token)
