title: "Telephony Integration"
description: "Connect voice agents with telephony providers for inbound and outbound calls"
---
## Overview
Dograh AI's telephony integration system provides a unified interface for connecting with various telephony providers. The same configuration powers both outbound calls (initiated from Dograh) and inbound calls (received on a phone number you own).
## Supported Providers

## Configuration
All telephony providers are configured from a single page in Dograh:
1. Navigate to **/telephony-configurations** and click **Add configuration**
2. Select your provider
3. Enter your credentials and save
4. Open the new configuration and add at least one **phone number**
5. (Optional) Assign an **Inbound workflow** to a phone number to enable inbound calling

A single org can hold multiple configurations (for example, separate Twilio sub-accounts) and multiple phone numbers per configuration. Mark one configuration as the **default outbound** to use it for test calls and campaigns by default.
## Common Features
The telephony integration in Dograh AI supports:
- **Outbound Calls**: Initiate calls to any phone number from a workflow or campaign
- **Inbound Calls**: Route incoming calls to the right voice agent — see the [Inbound Calling guide](/integrations/telephony/inbound)
- **Call Transfer**: Transfer an in-progress call to a human or another number (provider-dependent)
- **Call Status Tracking**: Monitor call lifecycle events (initiated, ringing, answered, completed, failed)
- **WebSocket Audio Streaming**: Real-time, bidirectional audio between caller and agent
- **Webhook Signature Verification**: Inbound webhooks are verified against the matched configuration's credentials
## Inbound Calling
Inbound calls use a **single org-wide webhook URL**:
```
https://api.dograh.com/api/v1/telephony/inbound/run
```
Dograh resolves the org from the webhook's account credentials and the agent from the called number's **Inbound workflow** assignment. See [Inbound Calling](/integrations/telephony/inbound) for the full setup.
## Troubleshooting
<AccordionGroup>
<Accordion title="Calls not connecting">
- Verify credentials are correctly configured
- Check phone number format (E.164 with country code, e.g. `+1234567890`)
- Ensure webhook URLs are publicly accessible
- Review provider-specific error logs
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Audio quality issues">
- Check network bandwidth and latency
- Verify audio codec compatibility
- Review WebSocket connection stability
</Accordion>
<Accordion title="Webhook signature validation failing">
- Confirm auth tokens / API secrets match between provider and Dograh configuration
- Verify webhook URL matches exactly (including the `/inbound/run` path)
- Check for proxy or load balancer modifications
</Accordion>
