# Calls

You can find more details about all parameters and their types in [the WebHook documentation](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/HELLO_137/Whapi-Cloud-WhatsApp-API/1.8.5#/WebhookPayload).

The calls array contains all calls that were sent to the webhook URL. Sent on event "`calls.post`". We mentioned more about the events here:[Detailed webhook settings](/help-desk/receiving/webhooks/detailed-webhook-settings.md#mode-setting)

**Can I find out call duration via webhooks?**

No — this is not currently possible. WhatsApp does not send a call-end event, so there is no way to determine when a call finished or how long it lasted.

The calls webhook (`calls.post`) only fires for these status changes: `initiated`, `ringing`, `missed`, and `answered`. A termination event does not exist in the WhatsApp API, and therefore call duration cannot be calculated.
