https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-7276/bsuid-support-to-whatsapp-voice-calling
## Description
Keeps WhatsApp voice calls in the same thread as the chat when a caller
has adopted a **WhatsApp username** and hidden their phone number.
This makes the inbound-call path BSUID-aware, reusing the same
identifier the messaging pipeline keys on so calls land on the existing
`ContactInbox`/conversation.

## Description
Adds a per-inbox "Allow incoming calls" toggle for voice-enabled
WhatsApp and Twilio inboxes. When turned off, the setting is persisted
on the channel; actually rejecting inbound calls is handled in a
follow-up PR.

Adds the server-side flow that turns Meta WhatsApp Cloud Calling
webhooks into Chatwoot Calls, conversations, voice_call message bubbles,
and ActionCable broadcasts. Stacked on top of #14312 (PR-2 — provider
methods); intentionally does not include the HTTP controller, routes, or
frontend (those land in PR-4 and PR-9).
## Closes
- Part of the WhatsApp Cloud Calling rollout. Linear: TBD
## What changed
**Webhook routing**
- `app/jobs/webhooks/whatsapp_events_job.rb` — append
`prepend_mod_with('Webhooks::WhatsappEventsJob')` so EE can extend it
without forking.
- `enterprise/app/jobs/enterprise/webhooks/whatsapp_events_job.rb` (new)
— overlay that prepends `handle_message_events` to intercept `field:
'calls'` payloads (route to `Whatsapp::IncomingCallService`) and
`interactive.call_permission_reply` messages (route to
`Whatsapp::CallPermissionReplyService`); falls through with `super` for
regular messages.
**Services**
- `enterprise/app/services/whatsapp/incoming_call_service.rb` (new) —
gated on `provider_config['calling_enabled']`; processes `connect`
(creates inbound call via `Voice::InboundCallBuilder` or transitions an
existing outbound call to `in_progress`) and `terminate` events; updates
conversation `additional_attributes` and broadcasts
`voice_call.incoming`/`voice_call.outbound_connected`/`voice_call.ended`.
- `enterprise/app/services/whatsapp/call_permission_reply_service.rb`
(new) — handles WhatsApp interactive `call_permission_reply` replies;
clears the conversation's `call_permission_requested_at` flag and
broadcasts `voice_call.permission_granted` so the agent UI can re-enable
the call button.
**Builder/model adjustments**
- `enterprise/app/services/voice/inbound_call_builder.rb` —
provider-agnostic; accepts `provider:` and `extra_meta:` kwargs, drops
`account:` (now derived from `inbox.account` to keep the param count
under rubocop's ceiling without disabling cops), uses digits-only
`source_id` for WhatsApp ContactInbox (validation requires
`^\d{1,15}\z`), skips Twilio-only `conference_sid` for non-Twilio
providers.
- `enterprise/app/services/voice/call_message_builder.rb` — adds
`create!`/`update_status!` API and `CALL_TO_VOICE_STATUS` map; uses
direct `Message.create!` (bypasses `Messages::MessageBuilder`'s
incoming-on-non-Api-inbox guard, which would otherwise reject the system
bubble); content is `'WhatsApp Call'` for WhatsApp and `'Voice Call'`
for Twilio. Backwards-compatible `perform!` retained for the existing
Twilio call sites.
- `enterprise/app/models/call.rb` — adds `default_ice_servers` (driven
by `VOICE_CALL_STUN_URLS` env), `direction_label` alias for the
`inbound`/`outbound` strings the FE expects, and
`ringing?`/`in_progress?`/`terminal?` predicates used throughout the
pipeline.
**Outgoing-channel guard**
- `app/services/base/send_on_channel_service.rb` — extends
`invalid_message?` to skip messages with `content_type == 'voice_call'`.
Without this, agent-initiated outbound calls (PR-4) would deliver
\"WhatsApp Call\" as a text message to the contact every time.
**Twilio call-site update**
- `enterprise/app/controllers/twilio/voice_controller.rb` — drops the
now-redundant `account: current_account` kwarg from the
`Voice::InboundCallBuilder.perform!` call.
**Tests**
- New: `spec/enterprise/services/whatsapp/incoming_call_service_spec.rb`
(5 examples — calling-disabled, inbound connect, outbound connect,
terminate completed, terminate no-answer, unknown event).
- New:
`spec/enterprise/services/whatsapp/call_permission_reply_service_spec.rb`
(3 examples — accept, reject, calling-disabled).
- Updated: `spec/enterprise/services/voice/inbound_call_builder_spec.rb`
and `spec/enterprise/controllers/twilio/voice_controller_spec.rb` to
drop the `account:` kwarg from call expectations.
## How to test
In `rails console` against an account with a WhatsApp inbox where
`provider_config['calling_enabled']` is true:
```ruby
inbox = Inbox.find(<id>)
params = { calls: [{ id: 'wacid_test', from: '15550001111', event: 'connect',
session: { sdp: 'v=0...', sdp_type: 'offer' } }] }
Whatsapp::IncomingCallService.new(inbox: inbox, params: params).perform
# => Conversation + Call (status: 'ringing', provider: 'whatsapp') + voice_call message bubble
# => ActionCable broadcasts `voice_call.incoming` to the assignee or account-wide
# Then terminate it:
Whatsapp::IncomingCallService.new(inbox: inbox,
params: { calls: [{ id: 'wacid_test', event: 'terminate', duration: 0, terminate_reason: 'no_answer' }] }
).perform
# => Call status flips to 'no_answer', message bubble updates, `voice_call.ended` broadcast fires
```
End-to-end browser flow (Meta → cable → UI) requires the controller from
PR-4 and the frontend from PR-9.

Twilio voice now uses first-class `Call` records as the source of truth
for call state, instead of storing it on
`conversation.additional_attributes` and `conversation.identifier`. Each
call gets its own record, its own `voice_call` bubble matched by
`call_sid`, and its own conference name keyed off `Call.id`. Multiple
calls on the same conversation (for `lock_to_single_conversation`
inboxes) now work correctly, and the conversation card stays in sync
with the real latest message.

Voice calling is now a capability on the existing TwilioSms rather than
a separate Voice model. A single Twilio phone number handles both SMS
and voice calls through one inbox.
Fixes
https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/CW-6683/add-voice-calling-as-a-capability-on-twilio-sms-channel
and https://linear.app/chatwoot/issue/PLA-120/add-the-support-for-sms
**What changed**
- Replaced Channel::Voice with voice_enabled flag on Channel::TwilioSms
- Added voice_enabled, twiml_app_sid, api_key_secret columns to
channel_twilio_sms table
- Dropped channel_voice table (no production data)
- All voice logic lives in Enterprise layer via
prepend_mod_with('Channel::TwilioSms')
- Added Voice settings tab on Twilio SMS inbox settings to
enable/disable voice
- Validates Twilio number voice capability before provisioning
- Teardown service cleans up TwiML app and credentials when voice is
disabled
- Frontend voice detection uses isVoiceCallEnabled() /
getVoiceCallProvider() helpers — extensible to future providers
- Gated by channel_voice feature flag
**How to test**
1. Enable feature flag:
Account.find(<id>).enable_features('channel_voice')
2. Create voice inbox: Inboxes → Voice tile → enter Twilio credentials →
verify incoming/outgoing calls and SMS work
3. Enable voice on existing SMS inbox: Inboxes → select Twilio SMS inbox
→ Voice tab → toggle on → provide API key credentials → verify calls
work
4. Disable voice: Voice tab → toggle off → verify TwiML app is deleted,
credentials cleared, SMS still works
5. Re-enable voice: Toggle on again → must provide api_key_secret again
→ new TwiML app provisioned

This PR delivers the first slice of the voice channel: inbound call
handling. When a customer calls a configured voice
number, Chatwoot now creates a new conversation and shows a dedicated
call bubble in the UI. As the call progresses
(ringing, answered, completed), its status updates in real time in both
the conversation list and the call bubble, so
agents can instantly see what’s happening. This focuses on the inbound
flow and is part of breaking the larger voice
feature into smaller, functional, and testable units; further
enhancements will follow in subsequent PRs.
references: #11602 , #11481
## Testing
- Configure a Voice inbox in Chatwoot with your Twilio number.
- Place a call to that number.
- Verify a new conversation appears in the Voice inbox for the call.
- Open it and confirm a dedicated voice call message bubble is shown.
- Watch status update live (ringing/answered); hang up and see it change
to completed in both the bubble and conversation
list.
- to test missed call status, make sure to hangup the call before the
please wait while we connect you to an agent message plays
