debug_webhook_levelOptional	integer		Enables debugging to the set URL. If a URL is set, this param defaults to 1.
debug_webhook_urlOptional	string		Each interaction between the AI and end user is posted in real time to the established URL.
directionOptional	string	the natural direction of the call	Forces the direction of the call to the assistant. Valid values are inbound and outbound.
digit_terminatorsOptional	string		DTMF digit, as a string, to signal the end of input (ex: "#")
digit_timeoutOptional	integer	3000 ms	Time, in ms, at the end of digit input to detect end of input. Allowed values from 250-10,000.
end_of_speech_timeoutOptional	integer	2000 ms (2 seconds)	Amount of silence, in ms, at the end of an utterance to detect end of speech. Allowed values from 250-10,000.

save_conversationOptional	boolean	false	Send a summary of the conversation after the call ends. This requires a post_url to be set in the ai parameters and the conversation_id defined below. This eliminates the need for a post_prompt in the ai parameters.
