How to Build with Opentact’s Developer-Friendly APIs - Supercharge Your Voice & Messaging Apps with Scalable Telecom Tools

 


Telecom Just Got Developer-Friendly

APIs are the backbone of modern software, enabling startups and enterprises alike to build powerful applications without reinventing the wheel. But when it comes to telecom — voice calls, SMS routing, SIP management — most platforms are still locked in legacy complexities.

Opentact changes that. With clean, modern, and well-documented APIs, Opentact gives developers full programmatic control over their telecom stack—from provisioning numbers to managing calls, tracking SMS, and configuring intelligent voice flows.

Whether you're a SaaS founder, a VoIP provider, or a product engineer looking to add real-time communication features, Opentact offers the APIs and infrastructure you need.

🧰 What Can You Build with Opentact APIs?

Opentact’s APIs unlock carrier-grade functionality, with the simplicity of a cloud platform. Here's what you can build:

1. Custom Call Flows

Use the API to create, update, and control call logic:

  • Set up IVRs

  • Route by time of day

  • Add call forwarding, voicemail, or recording

  • Inject ChatGPT or TTS for dynamic voice response

2. Phone Number Management

Provision local & toll-free DIDs across the US and Canada:

  • Search, order, and release numbers via API

  • Assign numbers to specific SIP users or call flows

  • Enable SMS, voice, or both

3. Inbound & Outbound SIP Control

  • Register SIP users via API

  • Assign SIP domains/subdomains

  • Route SIP traffic to vendors or specific users

  • Manage P2P calling across your network

4. Real-Time Call Tracking & Analytics

Monitor every inbound and outbound call:

  • Capture call duration, time, origin, result

  • Tag calls by source (campaign, channel, etc.)

  • Build custom dashboards or analytics tools

5. Programmable SMS Gateway

Send and receive messages via RESTful API:

  • Fully TCR 10DLC compliant

  • Enable two-way communication

  • Webhook support for message delivery events

6. AI Integration & Webhooks

  • Inject AI with ChatGPT or other engines

  • Trigger external APIs during calls (CRM, support systems)

  • Capture DTMF input or spoken text for dynamic flows

🧪 Sample Use Case: Build a Smart Appointment Reminder System

Let’s say you run a healthcare SaaS. With Opentact’s APIs, you can:

  • Automatically send SMS reminders 24 hours before appointments

  • Let patients confirm or reschedule via voice (with ASR)

All with minimal code. All hosted in the cloud. All secured and compliant.
