Entry points
Passed
Only the intended triggers can start the snapshot's workflows.
- Every trigger is documented
- No hidden or leftover webhook triggers
What we saw: The call and recovery workflows start only from inbound calls to the agent's own number, and the callback workflow only from an answered callback. Callbacks are outbound, so they cannot restart the recovery workflow.
