TeXML is the easiest way to get started with Telnyx’s Programmable Voice. Create custom call flows using simple XML scripting.
Telnyx is a global communications platform that offers simple yet sophisticated APIs for communications such as voice, SMS, fax, video, and more. The easiest way to get started with Telnyx’s Voice API and build custom call flows is with TeXML, a dynamic, low-code XML scripting language.
In this article, we’ll cover exactly what TeXML is, the benefits of choosing Telnyx, how to get started, and how to easily migrate your XML code from another provider.
TeXML is Telnyx’s XML scripting language that makes it easy for developers—or even non-developers—to build voice into their applications.
TeXML specifies call instructions using commands called verbs and nouns such as <Dial> and <Number> to define call instructions. With TeXML, creating custom call flows becomes as simple as writing an XML file, allowing users to implement complex communication strategies with minimal coding.
TeXML Bin lets you upload media to storage and call on that media when required, without the need for coding. This feature enables users to quickly and effortlessly incorporate programmable voice features into applications without the hassle of setting up application servers.
No server-side applications are needed for writing XML scripts or sending HTTP requests when building with TeXML Bin. Users can integrate their systems using HTTP requests from a TeXML file. This functionality allows users to extract the necessary information for call flows from external systems and send notifications to any REST API.
