I am confused about some of the data being sent back by the API for a detailed call log for extension to extension calls. Here's what I am getting:
Extension 100 belongs to Joe, Extension 101 belong to Jane.
Joe dials Jane by dialing extension 101. This creates call log data that I'm pulling through the API.
The call has four legs. The first three are more or less understandable, but there is an odd anomaly on the final leg.
In the final leg, I'm reading the response from the API with leg.from.name and leg.from.extensionnumber. If the call was from Joe at ext 100, you'd expect to see leg.from.extensionnumber have 100 for a value and leg.from.name to have "Joe" for its value.
This is NOT what I'm seeing in the final leg of extension to extension calls. What I'm seeing on the final leg is leg.from.extensionnumber at 100, but I'm seeing leg.from.name showing "Jane". Jane does not own extension 100. I do not get this. At all. I want to understand what I'm missing about why this is, or if it shouldn't be this way, then I want to report it s a bug.
Forgot to mention. We have automatic inbound and outbound recording turned on for our organization. Would that explain the multiple legged nature of the extension to extension calls?
No, you should still have only 1 call leg. Is this your production account? What is the account id?
I’m not sure how to find my account id.
I did do a test by disabling automatic recording on both extensions and doing a call. Still had 4 legs.
I am seeing that outbound calls from an extension to any external non RingCentral number does generate a single leg call. It appears the four leg call is specific to an extension to extension call.
If it's your production account, give me the app name and company name so I can try to check. If it's your sandbox account, give me the main company number.
It looks like you set the call handling & forwarding simultaneously for the extension 101 to ring external number etc.
RC Data Archiver is the app name.
Company Name is Hurley And Associates
App is in production btw.
There is no extension 100 and 101 in this account? What is the exact extension number you test on?
2041 and 2998.
I forgot to mention. I am reading the company call log records. User call log records tend to look slightly different. When I look at those in My Extension it does appear single legged, in case that’s important.
I got it. Your call is a Ring-Out call. That is why it has extra legs. LEt me check for documentation about Ring-Out legs and send you soon.
I believe you are looking at the wrong call. This was not a ring out call and it did not involve a cell phone.
Look at the call to 2998 from 2041 at 1:20am 3/13/21.
Actually it was not a Ring-Out call. The extension 2998 is a super admin extension and I believe that somewhere it is setting, it is associated with the main company number. If you accept the call log as such, stay with the master leg's info and ignore the leg to the main company number. Otherwise, you should submit a support ticket so someone can walk you thru with your settings.
how does being a super admin change things? I am not using any custom forwarding rules. My ring settings are the default setting of ringing my softphone and mobile apps for 30 seconds before going to voicemail.
Somehow that is associated to the main company number. However, I don't see any IVR setting associated with that extension. What happens if you call to other extension numbers?
Similar behavior. I’m seeing the same kind of leg records for a call between ext 8000 and 8001 as well from almost 2 weeks ago, 3/3/21.
Nothing unusual. I called extend 101 from extension 100 by dialing 101 in the soft phone dial pad. The simple view call log, both on the admin web interface and the api response shows a single leg, but the detailed log is 4 legs both in web interface and in api response.
I can arrange screen caps of this if we can arrange a way to transfer them to you outside of a public forum, with redaction.
You can open a help support ticket and send them the details.
