Supply the E.164 `phoneNumber`, the `voiceCarrier` of record, the `numberType`, and the `inboundRoute` that inbound SMS should be delivered to once the order is active. The order starts in `draft`; sign the LOA and submit it to progress. A second in-flight order for the same number is rejected. Requires the `numbers:write` scope. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.yaml post /api/v1/numbers/hosted-messaging openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Devotel CPaaS API description: Orbit by Devotel — Communications Platform as a Service API version: 1.0.0 contact: name: Devotel url: https://devotel.io email: support@devotel.io license: name: Proprietary servers: - url: https://api.orbit.devotel.io description: Production security: - Bearer: [] - ApiKey: [] tags: - name: Messages description: >- Send and manage messages across all channels (SMS, WhatsApp, RCS, Email, Viber, etc.) - name: Fax description: >- List and track fax (MMS/T.38) transmissions on Telnyx-backed fax numbers (sending flows through the Messaging API) - name: Agents description: AI agent creation, configuration, and execution - name: Voice description: Voice calls, IVR, conferencing, and SIP trunking - name: OnCall description: On-call rotations and escalation policy planning for incident alerting - name: Webhooks description: Webhook endpoint management and delivery logs - name: Numbers description: Phone number search, provisioning, and configuration - name: Brand Identity description: >- Unified cross-channel brand trust posture (10DLC, toll-free, WhatsApp, RCS, branded calling, number KYC) - name: Contacts description: Contact management, segmentation, and lifecycle tracking - name: Campaigns description: Marketing campaign orchestration and analytics - name: Flows description: Automation flow builder and execution engine - name: Templates description: Message template management and approval workflows - name: Settings description: Organization, channel, and user preference settings - name: Verify description: OTP generation and verification across channels - name: Push description: Push notification delivery via FCM and APNs - name: Integrations description: Third-party service connections and OAuth management - name: CDP description: >- Customer Data Platform — activation surface (CRM object sync, streaming destinations, ad-audience activation) - name: Files description: >- Server-to-server media upload, listing, retrieval, and deletion (signed-URL backed) - name: Commerce description: >- Omnichannel conversational-commerce — persistent cart + checkout state machine, channel-agnostic hosted pay-by-link, native WhatsApp checkout, and AP2-style agent payment mandates. - name: Sync description: >- Real-time shared-state primitive (Twilio Sync parity) — Documents, Maps, Lists, and ephemeral Streams, with change events relayed over the /api/v1/ws/sync WebSocket gateway - name: Risk description: >- Unified cross-channel Trust & Fraud risk scoring — fuses SMS-pumping, URL-reputation, Verify Fraud Guard, and Voice Biometrics signals into one composite verdict queryable before a send or a call. - name: Orby description: >- In-dashboard Orby operator assistant: streamed assistant turns, conversation threads, product knowledge-base search, and the tool-action approval gate.
