Can I use the RingCentral API to receive push notifications of inbound/outbound calling activity instead of polling it?

I saw this question being asked in a customer email thread and wanted to share it to help benefit all our developers...

Our Subscription (Push Notification) API resource empowers developers to enable their client application(s) to create a single subscription (to one or more extension's) and continually receive push notifications in real time for each subscribed extension.

However, this subscription has an expiration time but using the official RingCentral SDKs enables developers to automatically renew the subscription(s) on a timely basis.

When using this approach for your application(s) to receive events on your RingCentral account, no polling is involved.
