Accept a Call

Accept an inbound call.

Note: This interface does NOT answer the call, but allows the PBX to route it immediately.

Background information

If Control Inbound Call is enabled for a specific trunk on PBX web portal (Path: Integrations > API > Advanced Settings > Trunk Status Monitor), whenever an inbound call arrives on that trunk, the PBX will hold the call for up to 10 seconds and send an (30016) Incoming Call Request event to the third-party application.

Within this 10-second window, the third-party application can decide how to handle the inbound call:
  • Accept the call: Call the call/accept_inbound interface. The PBX will then immediately route the call to the pre-configured destination as defined in the inbound route.
  • Refuse the call: Call the call/refuse_inbound interface. The PBX will drop the call immediately, and the destination will not ring.
Important: Calling these interfaces after the 10-second window will NOT take effect. Once the 10-second window elapses, the PBX will automatically accept and route the call to the pre-configured destination.

Prerequisites

You have enabled the Control Inbound Call feature for the desired trunk. For more example, see Enable Yeastar P-Series PBX System API.
