Interact with Ribbon API

Provisioning → Block Fraud Groups

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the Ribbon API to block fraud groups in a telecommunication provisioning system. It allows users to block specific types of fraud groups, such as all outgoing calls (Group 1) or premium and international calls (Groups 2-9), by configuring various call types to be enabled or disabled. This is useful for preventing fraudulent call activities by controlling call permissions at a granular level.

Use Case Examples

  1. Blocking all outgoing calls for a specific domain to prevent fraud (Group 1).
  2. Blocking premium and international calls selectively to reduce fraud risk (Groups 2-9).
