answer Action

Answers an inbound call that is currently in the inbound state. If the inbound call is in the answered state this action is ignored.


Note that calls are answered implicitly by the first action that interacts with the caller. Setting the Early media advanced setting for an inbound service will allow the application to play media before answering the call.

The answer properties are:

Property Required/Optional Default Description
extra_sip_headers
from API V2.0
optional - A list of SIP header objects. These represent additional headers to include when answering the call.

  • Examples:

    • Answer an inbound call:

          "answer" :
          {
          }
      
    • Answer an inbound call and include extra SIP headers:

          "answer" : {
              "extra_sip_headers" : [
                  {
                      "name" : "X-EstimatedQueueWaitTime",
                      "value" : "150"
                  }
              ]
          }
