channel.held.v0

Description

This type of event indicates that a connected channel has been put on hold. During a phone call, an agent might put a customer on hold while consulting with a colleague, for example. During this period the customer would listen to hold music rather than being able to communicate with the agent. A channel.held event would occur at the point that the agent puts the customer on hold.

A notification will be sent at the moment the held phase of the channel lifecycle begins. The held phase will continue until a channel.retrieved event occurs.
