I want to use Twilio / Twiml to create a sequential ring group when a call comes in. What I have currently rings all phone numbers in the group simultaneously.
<dial timeout="30">
<number>xxx-xxx-xxxx</number>
<number>xxx-xxx-xxxx</number>
</dial>
I dont want the simultaneous behavior, instead I want the dial verb to dial the first number and wait 30 seconds, then if there is no answer, ring the next phone number and so on.
How do I implement this using twiml?
Thanks in advance.
Perhaps there is a more sophisticated way to do this but you could return multiple dial
with a pause
(and eventually a say
) in between.
The pause
will give time to the initiator to hangup before a next dial is executed.
<Dial timeout="30">
<number>xxx-xxx-xxxx</number>
</Dial>
<Pause length="5"/>
<Say>Moving to call the next number. You can hangup now if you wish to stop this.</Say>
<Pause length="5"/>
<Dial timeout="30">
<number>xxx-xxx-xxxx</number>
</Dial>
<Pause length="5"/>
<Say>Moving to call the next number. You can hangup now if you wish to stop this.</Say>
<Pause length="5"/>
<Dial timeout="30">
<number>xxx-xxx-xxxx</number>
</Dial>
