In order to add a participant to a conference call, from the cXML REST API, create an
[outbound call](/docs/compatibility-api/sdks/reference/calls/create)
to the participant's phone number and specify a cXML document that consists of something similar to:

```xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
  <Dial>
    <Conference>your-conference-name</Conference>
  </Dial>
</Response>
```

When the call is connected, the desired participant will be added to the conference call.
