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 --------- Co-authored-by: Muhsin <12408980+muhsin-k@users.noreply.github.com>
