mcwigglesmcgee f8cad44cd6 fix(voice-call): pass Twilio stream auth token via <Parameter> instead of query string (#14029)
Twilio strips query parameters from WebSocket URLs in <Stream> TwiML,
so the auth token set via ?token=xxx never arrives on the WebSocket
connection. This causes stream rejection when token validation is enabled.

Fix: pass the token as a <Parameter> element inside <Stream>, which
Twilio delivers in the start message's customParameters field. The
media stream handler now extracts the token from customParameters,
falling back to query string for backwards compatibility.

@openclaw/voice-call

Official Voice Call plugin for OpenClaw.

Providers:

  • Twilio (Programmable Voice + Media Streams)
  • Telnyx (Call Control v2)
  • Plivo (Voice API + XML transfer + GetInput speech)
  • Mock (dev/no network)

Docs: https://docs.openclaw.ai/plugins/voice-call Plugin system: https://docs.openclaw.ai/plugin

Install (local dev)

openclaw plugins install @openclaw/voice-call

Restart the Gateway afterwards.

Option B: copy into your global extensions folder (dev)

mkdir -p ~/.openclaw/extensions
cp -R extensions/voice-call ~/.openclaw/extensions/voice-call
cd ~/.openclaw/extensions/voice-call && pnpm install

Config

Put under plugins.entries.voice-call.config:

{
  provider: "twilio", // or "telnyx" | "plivo" | "mock"
  fromNumber: "+15550001234",
  toNumber: "+15550005678",

  twilio: {
    accountSid: "ACxxxxxxxx",
    authToken: "your_token",
  },

  plivo: {
    authId: "MAxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    authToken: "your_token",
  },

  // Webhook server
  serve: {
    port: 3334,
    path: "/voice/webhook",
  },

  // Public exposure (pick one):
  // publicUrl: "https://example.ngrok.app/voice/webhook",
  // tunnel: { provider: "ngrok" },
  // tailscale: { mode: "funnel", path: "/voice/webhook" }

  outbound: {
    defaultMode: "notify", // or "conversation"
  },

  streaming: {
    enabled: true,
    streamPath: "/voice/stream",
  },
}

Notes:

  • Twilio/Telnyx/Plivo require a publicly reachable webhook URL.
  • mock is a local dev provider (no network calls).
  • tunnel.allowNgrokFreeTierLoopbackBypass: true allows Twilio webhooks with invalid signatures only when tunnel.provider="ngrok" and serve.bind is loopback (ngrok local agent). Use for local dev only.

TTS for calls

Voice Call uses the core messages.tts configuration (OpenAI or ElevenLabs) for streaming speech on calls. You can override it under the plugin config with the same shape — overrides deep-merge with messages.tts.

{
  tts: {
    provider: "openai",
    openai: {
      voice: "alloy",
    },
  },
}

Notes:

  • Edge TTS is ignored for voice calls (telephony audio needs PCM; Edge output is unreliable).
  • Core TTS is used when Twilio media streaming is enabled; otherwise calls fall back to provider native voices.

CLI

openclaw voicecall call --to "+15555550123" --message "Hello from OpenClaw"
openclaw voicecall continue --call-id <id> --message "Any questions?"
openclaw voicecall speak --call-id <id> --message "One moment"
openclaw voicecall end --call-id <id>
openclaw voicecall status --call-id <id>
openclaw voicecall tail
openclaw voicecall expose --mode funnel

Tool

Tool name: voice_call

Actions:

  • initiate_call (message, to?, mode?)
  • continue_call (callId, message)
  • speak_to_user (callId, message)
  • end_call (callId)
  • get_status (callId)

Gateway RPC

  • voicecall.initiate (to?, message, mode?)
  • voicecall.continue (callId, message)
  • voicecall.speak (callId, message)
  • voicecall.end (callId)
  • voicecall.status (callId)

Notes

  • Uses webhook signature verification for Twilio/Telnyx/Plivo.
  • responseModel / responseSystemPrompt control AI auto-responses.
  • Media streaming requires ws and OpenAI Realtime API key.
