Stop

Stops a script when it's no longer needed, such as after processing an event. It does not terminate a contact. The contact remains in the state it was in prior to the Stop action. The only way to release a Stop action is to trigger an event such as ONSIGNAL, ONANSWER, ONHOLD, ONDATA, or ONRELEASE.

Stop is commonly used as a placeholder for branching events when the script has stopped running logic. Do not use this action if you need to terminate the script.
