This endpoint creates a new SIP trunk. The platform automatically provisions inbound and outbound trunks on the voice infrastructure using the provided credentials.

​
Body Parameters

​
sip_trunk_type
string
required
The type of SIP trunk: extension for a SIP extension, or number for a phone number (DID). This determines the expected format of the phone_number field.
​
phone_number
string
required
The SIP extension (1-15 characters, e.g. 1000) when sip_trunk_type is extension, or a phone number in E.164 format (e.g. +14155551234) when sip_trunk_type is number.
​
nickname
string
A short, human-friendly label for the trunk (e.g. “Provider X — Main”). Maximum 50 characters.
​
sip_username
string
required
Username for SIP authentication (3-128 characters)
​
sip_password
string
required
Password for SIP authentication (minimum 3 characters)
​
sip_address
string
required
The SIP server address without port (e.g. sip.provider.com)
​
sip_calling_format
string
required
The outbound calling number format:
  • +e164 — International with + prefix (e.g. +12025550123)
  • e164 — International without + prefix (e.g. 12025550123)
  • national — National format without country code (e.g. 0741926265)
​
inbound_authorization_type
string
required
How inbound calls are authenticated:
  • auth — Uses the same SIP username and password configured for outbound
  • ip — Whitelists specific IP addresses (requires allowed_inbound_ips)
​
allowed_inbound_ips
array
Array of IP addresses allowed to send inbound calls. Required when inbound_authorization_type is ip. Must contain at least one valid IP address.
​
country_code
string
required
ISO 3166-2 country code where the SIP trunk is located (e.g. US, GB, DE). When sip_trunk_type is number, the country is auto-detected from the phone number if possible.
​
outbound_proxy
boolean
Route outbound calls through a fixed IP address. Default: false. Only enable this if your SIP provider requires IP-based authentication for outbound traffic.

​
Response

​
message
string
Success message
​
data
object
The created SIP trunk object (same fields as Get SIP trunk)

What happens after creation

When you create a SIP trunk, the platform automatically:
  1. Provisions an inbound trunk on the voice infrastructure — using either username/password or IP-based authentication depending on your inbound_authorization_type setting
  2. Provisions an outbound trunk — using the SIP address and credentials you provided, optionally through the outbound proxy
If provisioning fails, the SIP trunk is not saved and a 500 error is returned.
