# Create outbound call (legacy path)

> POST https://api.nabrah.ai/api/ext/make-call

Group: Calls. Page: https://www.nabrah.ai/en/docs/api-reference/calls/create-outbound-call-legacy-path

Legacy path kept for existing integrations. New integrations should use [Create outbound call](https://www.nabrah.ai/en/docs/api-reference/calls/create-outbound-call.md).

Backward-compatible alias of POST /api/ext/call/make-call — creates an outbound phone call with identical request and response shapes. Specify the handling agent (agent_id), the originating number (call_from), and a destination (call_to); the response returns call_ids. Prefer the canonical /api/ext/call/make-call for new integrations; this path exists only for compatibility with older clients.

## Alias notice

- **Equivalent to /api/ext/call/make-call**: Same behavior, same request body (CreateOutboundCallRequest), same response (call_ids). Use the canonical /api/ext/call/make-call path going forward.

## Request fields

- **agent_id**: UUID of the agent conducting the call. List agents with GET /api/ext/agent. Fields: `agent_id`.
- **call_from / call_to**: Originating number and destination number. call_to accepts a single number or a list of destinations (max 100) for batch dialing. Fields: `call_from`, `call_to`.
- **injected_data / variables / tags**: Optional context injected for single calls, prompt template variables, and labels used later for filtering in search/analytics/export. Fields: `injected_data`, `variables`, `tags`.

Response call_ids is always a list — one id per created call.

## Authorization

- `X-API-Key` (string, header, required): your workspace API key.
