DTMF

Send DTMF tones during active calls to automate interactions with IVR systems and other tone-based services.

DTMF (Dual-Tone Multi-Frequency) is the tone that's generated whenever a key is pressed in an active call. This resource allows you to send DTMF digits in an active call. The common use case for using this object is to automate sending of specific digits to a receiver in an outbound call.

Use Case Example: Automatically navigate IVR menus, enter access codes, or provide automated responses to phone systems without manual input.
