openframe API
The openframe API provides endpoints that provide Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) the ability to create and update interaction records without using the Operation Handler.
Use this API to create interaction records to track agent phone calls. Once an interaction record is created, the interaction can automatically display in the CRM Workspace when an agent receives a phone call.
To access this API, the com.sn_openframe_store plugin must be installed on the instance and the calling user must have either the sn_openframe_api_user or sn_openframe_user role. The openframe API runs in the sn_openframe namespace.
For additional information on CSM voice interaction records, see CSM voice interaction record page.

Creates an interaction record in the Interaction [interaction] table when an agent accepts a call. Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) providers can then use these records to track phone calls.
Use this endpoint to provide a consistent experience for agents, similar to other native channels such as chat and case, when accepting phone calls.
If the first item in the relatedRecords array is a record from the Interaction [interaction] table, the endpoint checks for an existing callback interaction. If it finds one, the endpoint returns that interaction instead of creating a new one. This behavior helps avoid duplicate interaction records when an agent calls a customer back from a callback interaction.
