Use Countdown API with DialNexa when the caller asks for access, recovery, permission changes, vault help, or anything that could expose sensitive systems.
Where Countdown API fits in a DialNexa workflow
Countdown API should receive DialNexa output when the conversation affects a vault item, access request, identity check, security review, policy exception, or suspicious-call escalation. The handoff should explain what the caller asked for, what DialNexa learned, which record or object is affected, and who owns the next step.Preserve the audit trail
Attach call ID, owner, decision, timestamp, and review outcome so security can reconstruct what happened.
Route policy exceptions
Send unusual access requests to the correct security or IT owner with the policy, reason, and urgency attached.
Verify the caller before access changes
Capture who called, what access they requested, which workspace is affected, and whether identity confidence is high enough for review.
Escalate risky requests
Flag callers asking for secrets, emergency access, admin changes, recovery help, or unusual account actions.
What DialNexa should capture for Countdown API
- Caller identity, organization, role, account, phone, and verification confidence
- Requested permission, policy exception, recovery action, affected system, and severity
- Risk reason, suspicious phrases, urgency, approval requirement, and escalation owner
- Safe summary, transcript link, recording link, DialNexa call ID, and review status
- Redaction flag for secrets, tokens, passwords, keys, or recovery codes

Use find collection requests
Use find collection requests
Use find collection requests before answering, routing, or creating follow-up. DialNexa should verify the lookup result against the caller and send low-confidence matches to a human queue.
Use create destination
Use create destination
Use create destination only when DialNexa has a matched caller, a clear destination object, and enough call context to justify opening a new security record. If the caller is unclear, route to review instead of creating noise.
