Call forwarding API

sdrbrg — Thu, 28 Mar 2024 11:00:35 GMT

Hi, im trying to update the "To" number in call forwarding programatically via the API provided in the documentation.

Authorization works and I can fetch the settings using a get request to: "https://numbers.api.sinch.com/v1/projects/" + project_id + "/activeNumbers/" + phone_number

Using patch to: https://numbers.api.sinch.com/v1/projects/{projectId}/activeNumbers/{phoneNumber}
im not able to see anywhere in the documentation where the "To" numbers is beings assigned.

The voiceConfiguration payload does not include anything for this what I can see.

Thanks!

Found the answer under https://developers.sinch.com/docs/voice/api-reference/authentication/signed-request/?utm_source=forethought-chat&utm_lp=forethought-chat#Python

Edit: was not able to find it under the singed request either

Hello sdrbrg,

So, at the moment the Call Forwarding that can be enabled through the Dashboard in your app can only be done using the Dashboard. If you want to create call forwarding functionality using the API, you will need to create some custom functionality using SVAML, Incoming Call Event requests, and in particular the `connectPstn` action. We recommend using this tutorial as a starting point to learn how to mask an incoming number and forward it to the number you choose.

Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks!
