# Manual Dial

`POST /dialer/parallel-calls/manual-dial`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1/dialer/parallel-calls/manual-dial`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

*** CALLS A REAL PERSON. *** Dials `to_phone` immediately.

An arbitrary number, inside an existing PAUSED or COMPLETED session. If
the session is ACTIVE voice refuses rather than dialing over a running
campaign.

The number does not have to belong to a contact: an unknown number is
resolved to an existing contact by phone, or a new contact is created for
it, so the call is attributable afterwards. That means this operation can
CREATE A CONTACT RECORD as a side effect.

Self-dialing is refused. Tiered `external`.

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, nullable

  - `to_phone` string, required
  - `from_phone` string, required
  - `first_name` string, nullable

  - `company` string, nullable

  - `contact_id` string, nullable
  - `email` string, nullable

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- ApiResponseDialerPayload
  - `data` DialerPayload, required: An open envelope for one dialer result. Open because voice owns the shape of a session, a call stub and a queue stat, and it grows them without a contract bump here. A dropped field would otherwise turn an added upstream field into a removed public one.
  - `pagination` PaginationMeta
    - `page` integer, required: Current page number (1-indexed)
    - `limit` integer, required: Items per page
    - `total` integer, required: Total number of items
    - `has_next` boolean, required: Whether there are more pages
    - `next_cursor` string, nullable: Opaque cursor for the next page; null when there are no more items. Pass it back as the `cursor` query param to fetch the following page without computing page numbers.
    - `total_available` integer, nullable: Search endpoints only: how many records really match, when known. Can be larger than `total`, which is capped at the 10,000 results that can be paged. For company search this is a distinct-company estimate. Null when unknown; absent outside search.
    - `total_is_lower_bound` boolean, nullable: Search endpoints only: true when more records match than `total` shows (the result set is larger than the 10,000 results that can be paged). Absent outside search.
    - `notes` string[], nullable: Search endpoints only: plain-language notes about the result, e.g. that more records match than can be paged, or that a reversed `between` range was put in order.
