2026-10-01Serve this one request at the given dated contract version instead of the credential’s pin. An unsupported value is refused with 400 unsupported_version, never downgraded.
Unique key for this logical write. Reuse it only when retrying the same method, path, query and body. Required on appointment writes, on creating a service, a resource, a closure, a tag, a caller rule or a document, and on teaching the assistant; optional on every other write. Retained for 24 hours: a retry with the same key gets the first response again, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true, and a refusal that holds until the state changes (a time taken, a list full) is replayed too. A response a retry can change is not kept when the request saved nothing, and the retry runs the request again: a 400 asking for a different request (invalid_parameter, invalid_cursor, export_too_large, unknown_scenario, no_services_requested, stay_too_short, stay_too_long, stay_dates_invalid), a 415, a 409 request_conflict, document_not_ready or check_in_progress, a 412, a 429 and a 5xx.

call-archive-1Request Bodyrequired
Section titled “Request Bodyrequired”Inbox state for one call. Send read, archived or both.
object
true marks the call read, keeping the first read_at. false marks it unread, archived or not. Cannot be null.
true archives the call and marks it read, whatever read says. false returns it to the inbox. Cannot be null.

Section titled “ Responses ”Successful Response
One inbound call the assistant answered. Its record never changes after it is written, so it appears once in the change feed. Only its inbox state, read_at and archived_at, changes later, and call.updated reports that. A deleted call leaves the feed and the log; call.deleted is its only trace.
object
Opaque Talki call identifier. Decided when the call arrives: the call.ringing event sent while it rang carries the same id as data.call_id.
The location the call was for: the one whose Talki number the caller dialled (GET /v1/locations). Never null: a call to the account’s own number, and every call from before locations existed, is the main location’s. It never changes.
Who called, as far as the account knows. Always present; its fields may be null. display_name is set only for a name the owner entered or imported, never for one the assistant heard.
When the call ARRIVED, before the assistant picked up. RFC 3339 UTC. This is the ordering key for GET /v1/calls.
Appointments booked during this call, oldest first. Empty for a call that booked nothing. Includes appointments since cancelled — the link records what the call did, not the appointment’s current state.
A hand-over of the call to a person, in the order it happened.
An existing appointment the call moved or cancelled.
object
The appointment.
rescheduled or cancelled.
When this record was written, RFC 3339 UTC: after the call ended, so a long call can be written after a shorter call that started later. created_after filters on this field. Do not use it as a sync watermark: records do not become visible in created_at order, so a watermark on it can skip a call permanently. Resume a sync with GET /v1/calls?sync=true and its cursor.
