We are excited to announce a new feature designed to streamline the process of ordering and porting phone numbers with regulatory requirements:** Requirement Groups**.

**What are Requirement Groups?**

Requirement Groups allow you to view, manage, and fulfill regulatory requirements ahead of time for a particular order type. By creating a Requirement Group, you can pre-fill all necessary information and documentation just once, and then reuse this group across multiple orders. This eliminates the need to re-upload the same requirements for each order, saving you time and ensuring accuracy.

**How It Works:**

1. **Create a Requirement Group**: Create a new Requirement Group for the specific order (country, phone number type, port/purchase) you need. 
2. **Fulfill and validate**: Fill out all necessary regulatory information and upload any required documents, ensuring all information is accurate and complete.
3. **Associate with orders**: Associate the Requirement Group ID with your order. The pre-filled requirements will automatically be applied to the order.
4. **Regulatory review and approval**: The order will undergo the standard regulatory requirement review process. The values provided may be approved or rejected.

This feature is currently only available via API, but will be added to the portal in the near future. To learn more, take a look at our [Requirement Groups developer guide](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/numbers/phone-numbers/requirement-groups).

[Get in touch](https://telnyx.com/contact-us) with our team of experts with any questions you may have.

We believe this new feature will significantly enhance your ordering experience, making it faster and easier to comply with regulatory requirements.

We are excited to announce our new Port In and Port Out Events APIs feature that provides further control and insight into porting orders. 

The process of porting phone numbers involves multiple steps and can take varying amounts of time. During this period, numerous events such as comments, splits, and status changes will occur as your order is processed.

To help you stay informed, each of these events comes with an associated notification. [You can subscribe to these notifications](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/numbers/porting/port-in-notifications) to receive real-time updates on your orders.

We are introducing the Port In and Port Out Events APIs, which provides further control and clarity over your porting orders. With this API, you can:

* View all events related to your port in orders and port out orders
* Republish notifications for specific events

This new feature aims to provide you with better visibility and management of your porting process. We hope you find it valuable!

For more information and to get started, please check out our [Port In Events](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/numbers/porting/port-in-events) and our [Port Out Events](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/numbers/porting/port-out-events) Developer Guides.

We are excited to announce the release of function calling for Telnyx [Chat Completions API](https://developers.telnyx.com/api/inference/inference-embedding/chat-public-chat-completions-post "Telnyx Chat Completions API"). Function calling empowers developers to enhance their AI applications with advanced interaction capabilities, connecting open-source LLMs to external tools for more dynamic and context-aware responses.

By allowing models to call predefined functions, interactions are dynamic and capable of handling complex tasks easily. LLMs can streamline processes by directly invoking specific functions, reducing the need for multiple queries and minimizing response times. 

Users can integrate function calling with existing workflows and tools, to leverage Telnyx’s powerful infrastructure to deploy scalable and efficient AI solutions. These improvements collectively empower businesses to build more intelligent and responsive AI applications, providing a superior user experience and operational efficiency.

## How to get started with function calling
To use function calling with the [Telnyx Inference API](https://telnyx.com/products/inference "Inference API") you’ll first need to set up your [free Telnyx account](https://telnyx.com/sign-up "Sign up to Telnyx") and then head over to our developer docs where you’ll find all you need to get started.

We are excited to announce the release of our new [AWS S3 to Telnyx Cloud Storage Migration API](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/cloud-storage/migrating-from-aws "AWS Migration API"). This API moves all data from a source AWS S3 bucket to a destination Telnyx Cloud Storage bucket without the user incurring data egress charges by AWS. 

By enabling AWS S3 users to seamlessly migrate their data to [Telnyx Cloud Storage](https://telnyx.com/products/cloud-storage "Low-cost Cloud Storage"), they leverage significant cost savings while maintaining high performance and security standards.

Let’s take a closer look at how our new Migration API works. 

__Step 1:__ Data is transferred from the user's AWS instance to the Telnyx migration engine that is within the same AWS region without any data transfer charges to the owner of the source bucket due to AWS’s no-cost intra-region data transfer policy.

__Step 2:__ The API utilizes AWS Direct Connect for discounted Data Transfer Out (DTO) within the same geopolitical region, ensuring cost-effective migration of your data to Telnyx.

## What to expect from Telnyx Cloud Storage 
__Cost-Effective Storage:__ Migrate your data from AWS S3 to Telnyx Cloud Storage at minimal cost. Post-migration, users enjoy [significantly lower storage and egress fees](https://telnyx.com/pricing/storage "Cloud Storage Pricing") with Telnyx.

__Seamless Migration:__ Our Migration API ensures a smooth and efficient data transfer process, minimizing downtime and disruption to your operations.

__Intuitive APIs:__ Built on [S3-compatible APIs](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/cloud-storage/aws-s3-compatibility "AWS S3 Compatibility Matrix"), Telnyx Cloud Storage allows you to easily point your applications to Telnyx without any major changes.

__Security and Reliability:__ Telnyx Cloud Storage offers robust security and reliability to protect your data and ensure continuous accessibility.

## How to get started with migrating from AWS S3 to Telnyx
Sign up for Telnyx through the [Mission Control Portal](https://telnyx.com/sign-up "Telnyx Account Sign up") to get started with Telnyx Cloud Storage. Once your account is set up, you can follow our [migration guide](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/cloud-storage/migrating-from-aws "AWS S3 Migration Guide") to start migrating your data from AWS S3 to Telnyx.

We are excited to announce the launch of support for a new Google Push notification service. Google will deprecate the legacy Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) APIs on 6/1/2024 and is introducing HTTP v1 as the new standard for push notifications on Android devices.

To ensure seamless communication and to comply with Google's latest standards, we are proactively migrating our Android notification system from the legacy FCM APIs to HTTP v1.

**What our Android Voice SDK users need to do**

This migration will require action on our users' part. We kindly ask you to update your notification settings and authentication keys to align with the new HTTP v1 protocol. This update is crucial to maintain the reliability and security of your notifications. We’ve prepared [detailed instructions](https://developers.telnyx.com/docs/voice/webrtc/push-notifications) to help you smoothly set up HTTP v1 notifications.

Please note that the deadline for completing this migration is **June 1st, 2024**. After this date, the legacy FCM APIs will no longer be supported, and users who have not migrated to HTTP v1 may experience interruptions in the notification service.

Thank you for your continued trust and support.
