I'm using Twilio REST Api to create a call programmatically, with call-status and recordings web-hooks wired in. The web-hook POST requests are currently hitting the server but failing on me because there is a requirement for a custom header entry.
I want to be able to pass my custom headers (that needs to be sent in the upcoming web-hook request headers) when I create those calls with the web-hook urls. The custom header should have dynamic value.
I have something like this:
call = @client.calls.create(
to: "+1XYZ",
from: ENV['TWILIO_ACCESS_NUMBER'],
twiml: '<Response><Record /></Response>',
status_callback: @@callStatusHandler,
status_callback_event: ['answered', 'completed'],
)
When I create such calls, I will have access to sessionid with a dynamic value, say my-session-value. Now when the webhook request comes in, I want sessionid = my-session-value in the header.
Is there a way to achieve this?
If you need to add your own custom headers, you can try to proxy your requests through some other logic before it hits your application servers. This was a past in the post around forking webhooks you can look at and see it it can be modified to meet your needs.
