External accounts

This endpoint provides the ability to manage External Accounts on your Customer accounts.

External accounts represent objects that are outside the telecom.center™ servers and are controlled by the operator. Each commercial account may have a unique External Account integration that allows the seamless combination of phone.systems™ PBX services with third-party operator services.

Important

External Accounts cannot be created or deleted by customers. A customer may only update allowed settings for an External Account that was provisioned to their account.

The following HTTP method(s) are available:
