AI-generatedOverview
This node allows users to create phone number entries associated with different providers, specifically Twilio and SIP Trunk, within the Eleven Labs Conversational AI platform. It is useful for managing telephony resources that agents or conversational systems use to make or receive calls.
Typical scenarios include:
- Registering a new Twilio phone number with authentication credentials to enable outbound or inbound calls.
- Adding a SIP trunk phone number with specific termination URI and authentication methods to integrate with SIP-based telephony infrastructure.
For example, you can create a Twilio phone number by providing the number in E.164 format, a label, and your Twilio account credentials. Alternatively, you can configure a SIP trunk phone number with its termination URI and choose between ACL or Digest authentication.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Provider | The phone provider to use. Options: "Twilio", "SIP Trunk". |
| Phone Number | The phone number in E.164 format (e.g., +15551234567). Required for both providers. |
| Label | A descriptive label for the phone number. Required for both providers. |
| Twilio Account SID | Your Twilio Account SID. Required only if Provider is Twilio. |
| Twilio Auth Token | Your Twilio Auth Token (password type). Required only if Provider is Twilio. |
| Termination URI | SIP trunk termination URI. Required only if Provider is SIP Trunk. |
| Authentication | The authentication method for SIP trunk. Options: "ACL Authentication", "Digest Authentication". Default is "ACL Authentication". Required only if Provider is SIP Trunk. |
| Username | SIP trunk username for digest authentication. Required only if Provider is SIP Trunk and Authentication is "Digest Authentication". |
| Password | SIP trunk password for digest authentication (password type). Required only if Provider is SIP Trunk and Authentication is "Digest Authentication". |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the phone number creation operation. This typically includes details about the created phone number resource such as its ID, status, and any metadata returned by the Eleven Labs API or the underlying telephony provider.
There is no indication that this node outputs binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active Eleven Labs Conversational AI API connection.
- For Twilio provider usage, valid Twilio Account SID and Auth Token must be provided.
- For SIP Trunk provider usage, appropriate SIP trunk configuration including termination URI and authentication credentials are required.
No additional environment variables or n8n-specific configurations are explicitly required beyond these credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Credentials: If Twilio Account SID or Auth Token are incorrect, the node will fail to authenticate. Verify credentials in your Twilio console.
- Incorrect Phone Number Format: Phone numbers must be in E.164 format (e.g., +15551234567). Using invalid formats may cause errors.
- Missing Required Fields: Ensure all required fields for the selected provider and authentication method are filled.
- SIP Trunk Authentication Errors: If using Digest Authentication, ensure username and password are correct; otherwise, authentication will fail.
- Network or API Errors: Temporary network issues or API rate limits may cause failures. Retry or check API status.
Error messages generally reflect the above issues and should guide corrective actions.
