The <Redirect> verb transfers control of a Message response to the TwiML at a different URL. All verbs after <Redirect> are unreachable and ignored.
The <Redirect> verb supports the following attributes that modify its behavior:
| Attribute Name | Allowed Values | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| method | GET, POST | POST |
The 'method' attribute takes the value GET or POST. This tells Twilio whether to request the <Redirect> URL via HTTP GET or POST. POST is the default.
The "noun" of a TwiML verb is the stuff nested within the verb that's not a verb itself; it's the stuff the verb acts upon. These are the nouns for <Redirect>:
| Noun | TwiML Interpretation |
|---|---|
| plain text | An absolute or relative URL for a different TwiML document. |
No verbs can be nested within <Redirect> and <Redirect> can't be nested in any other verbs.
In this example, we have a <Redirect> verb. <Redirect> makes a request to http://www.foo.com/nextInstructions and transfers control to the TwiML returned from that request.
Redirects flow control to a TwiML at a URL relative to the current URL.
