automated text-to-speech outbound calls

[njfrost]

I have set up 3CX+IVR inbound call handling, which has been working well for some time.
I'm now looking to add automated dynamic text-to-speech outbound calls, driven by requests from an external back-office system.
This isn't a call centre application, so I don't need predictive dialling.

I'm aware of the 3CX APIs for making outbound calls, but can I process these calls through the VAD?

What is the latest advice on this? I've seen conflicting information in past replies from VAD_Support in the forums.
For instance

you can launch the call with 3CX API and specify to connect it to a VAD callflow extension

and

The VAD is designed to work with inbound calls only. It can't make outbound calls

Thanks
