We developed all features with RingOut API in sandbox for our web application. Yesterday it worked perfectly.Today strange things happened. When made call, somehow the "to" phone became first leg and "from" phone the second leg. The response after RingOut request was as something like

{
    "id": "Y3MxNjk2MTIzOTgyNDMyMTUyMDlAMTAuMjguMjAuMTEw",
    "uri": "https://platform.devtest.ringcentral.com/restapi/v1.0/account/~/extension/~/ringout/Y3MxNjk2MTIzOTgyNDMyMTUyMDlAMTAuMjguMjAuMTEw",
    "status": {
        "callStatus": "Invalid",
        "callerStatus": "Invalid",
        "calleeStatus": "Invalid"
    }
}Can someone let me know what went wrong?

Does your RingOut set the 'playPrompt' property to 'true'?

If it's true, the 'to' should be dialed first and the user should be prompted to press '1' to connect the call.

If not, both legs can happen at the same time.

Bill and Tyler,

Vyshakh and I have both tried to reproduce this unsuccessfully so far.

Please create a support ticket so we can get specific call information from you for our team to track this down.

Thanks,

John

So I just spent an hour with tech support. It seems to be that a recent change at Ringcentral has FLIPPED the To and From fields. Have been using the URL as per this page: https://service.ringcentral.com/ringoutapi/

2. Call

Used to be that for us to call a customer we would put the customer's phone number in the TO parameter and the ringcentral number we wanted the call to connect to (which of our employee's desk phones) in the FROM field. Now it works in the reverse of that. But after reversing those fields in the URL I am sending it works as expected. Very very strange that those two fields were flipped without telling customers.

Anyway. Great support as usual on the phone.

Hi Tyler is this from the mobile app or the desktop soft phone app that youre referring to ? I wish we could chose to call from any number prior to making a call. Current the apps whether mobile or desktop only allow you to have a default call out number. So when you call out you only call from that number but sometimes I have customers from different states or areas and Id like to call out from different areas. I know when we manually dial out we can pick a number to call from but I was referring to when we select a contact in the contact part of the app and just call out, it calls out from the default number on the application.

I am just constructing a URL and opening that URL with my custom CRM software. The URL looks like this and you can call and call from any number...

https://service.ringcentral.com/ringoutapi/

Look at the sample URL at bottom of section 2. if you are interested.

I searched and found one post similar to us:

https://devcommunity.ringcentral.com/ringcentraldev/topics/facing-a-issue-in-calling-the-specified-forward-number

In that it said that to use new interface https://developer.ringcentral.com/api-docs/latest/index.html#!#RefRingOut.html

It seems that RingCentral updated ringout interface but not deprecated old one properly.

RingOut URI
/restapi/v1.0/account/{accountId}/extension/{extensionId}/ring-out

Please note: The URI /restapi/v1.0/account/{accountId}/extension/{extensionId}/ringout is deprecated, but still supported for backward compatibility.

RingOut Call Status
URI
/restapi/v1.0/account/{accountId}/extension/{extensionId}/ring-out/{ringoutId}

Please note: The URI /restapi/v1.0/account/{accountId}/extension/{extensionId}/ringout/{ringoutId}
is deprecated, but still supported for backward compatibility.

I used "ring-out" instead of "ringout" in the call, everything worked fine now.

Beware my understanding as of 2/21/2018 is that RingCentral is aware of the issue and it should be fixed - so if you reverse the to/from it will be broken again once the fix is applied. Can someone from RingCentral confirm this please. I am using ringout.asp API with a HTTP POST.
