Get a Workspace Emergency Callback Number

Retrieve the emergency callback number setting associated with a specific workspace.

Emergency Callback Configurations can be enabled at the organization level, Users without individual telephone numbers, such as extension-only users, must be set up with accurate Emergency Callback Numbers (ECBN) and Emergency Service Addresses to enable them to make emergency calls. These users can either utilize the default ECBN for their location or be assigned another specific telephone number from that location for emergency purposes.

To retrieve an emergency callback number, it requires a full, location, user, or read-only administrator auth token with a scope of spark-admin:telephony_config_read.
