Properties

Name Type Description
phoneNumber object This is the phone number that the message is associated with.
type string This is the type of the message. "assistant-speech" is sent as assistant audio is being played.
text string The full assistant text for the current turn. This is the complete text, not an incremental delta — consumers should use `timing` metadata (e.g. `wordsSpoken`) to determine which portion has been spok
turn number This is the turn number of the assistant speech event (0-indexed).
source string Indicates how the text was sourced.
timing object Optional timing metadata. Shape depends on `timing.type`: - `word-alignment` (ElevenLabs): per-character timing at playback cadence. words[] includes space entries. Best consumed by tracking a running
timestamp number This is the timestamp of the message.
artifact object This is a live version of the `call.artifact`. This matches what is stored on `call.artifact` after the call.
assistant object This is the assistant that the message is associated with.
customer object This is the customer that the message is associated with.
