rc-active-call-notify telephonyStatus is blank or incorrect when inbound call is answered on mobile

Hi RingCentral community,

I’m integrating the RingCentral embeddable/web phone widget into our website and using widget postMessage events to save call history.

Issue:

For an inbound call, if the call popup is open and the user answers from the mobile, I usually receive rc-active-call-notify with:

data.call.telephonyStatus === "OnHold"

But if the same inbound call is answered from the RingCentral mobile app, the browser widget sometimes receives rc-call-end-notify while:

data.call.telephonyStatus

is blank/missing or not reliable, and my stored value from rc-active-call-notify is also empty. Because of this, our service can incorrectly classify the call as missed even though it was answered on mobile.

Questions:

  1. Is rc-active-call-notify.data.call.telephonyStatus expected to be reliable for calls answered on another device, such as RingCentral mobile?
  2. Which widget event should be used to know the final disposition of an inbound call?
  3. Does rc-call-end-notify.data.call include a stable ID, like telephonySessionId or sessionId, that can be used to query the Call Log API?
  4. Is the recommended approach to wait for rc-call-end-notify, then query RingCentral Call Log for the final result instead of relying on telephonyStatus?
  5. What call log field should we use to distinguish answered inbound calls from missed inbound calls?

Example event flow:

rc-call-ring-notify rc-call-end-notify

In the failing case, rc-active-call-notify is not received, or telephonyStatus is blank/incorrect before rc-call-end-notify.

Any guidance on the correct reliable way to detect “answered on mobile” vs “missed inbound call” would be appreciated.
