I am trying to achieve following functionality with twillio.js on client side and ASP.NET Mvc website at the backend.
I need to connect a call between real phone number of sales person and phone number of a potential client.
For example on button click , I need to call potential client , and in a case the client answered , i need to add to the call sales person (that is not using twillio number , using regular landline)
Is it possible to achieve with twillio ?
Karen, hello!
Were you able to achieve what you were looking for with Alex's suggestion of the Click to Call tutorial?
https://www.twilio.com/docs/tutorials/walkthrough/click-to-call/csharp/mvc
The above uses a web form and ajax to send the form asynchronously. Then we handle the POST from our web form and connect the call via the REST API.
/// <summary>
/// Handle a POST from our web form and connect a call via REST API
/// </summary>
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Call(Contact contact)
{
if (!ModelState.IsValid)
{
return Json(new { success = false, message = (ModelState.Values.First()).Errors.First().ErrorMessage, });
}
var twilioNumber = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["TwilioNumber"];
// The following line is how you should get the absolute Uri in an internet faced
// server or a production environment
// var handlerUri = Url.Action("Connect", "Call", null, Request.Url.Scheme);
// this line allow us to get the absolute Uri in a local computer using a secure instrospectable
// service like ngrok ;)
var handlerUri = GetTestUri();
_twilioService.CallToNumber(twilioNumber, contact.Phone.Replace(" ", ""), handlerUri);
return Json(new { success = true, message = "Phone call incoming!"});
}
Please let me know if this is helpful for your use case.
