Description

This type of event indicates that a channel has been retrieved from a held state. During a phone call, an agent might place a customer on hold whilst consulting with a colleague, for example. When they finish the consultation, the agent will retrieve the customer from hold in order to continue talking to them. A channel.retrieved event will occur when the agent retrieves the customer.

A notification will be sent at the moment the held phase of the channel lifecycle ends. The channel will then move back to a connected phase.
