I have a question around the call status of an inbound call. We are testing routing calls from Twilio to RingCentral. In Twilio we have a list of direct RingCentral numbers, we would like to dial them sequentially. The issue is, RingCentral immediately answers the call and then internally rings the agent. In Twilio, that call was “answered“ even though no agent actually accepted the call, so it never moves on to dial the next number.
We have tested this with standard phone numbers and the logic works fine, it is only calls to RingCentral numbers that have this issue. Is there a way to have RingCentral not accept the call until an agent actually answers?
Just to reiterate, the call is marked as “In-progress” within RingCentral if the agent never answered, but it is technically answered from a call perspective as soon as the call hits RC. We would like RC to not answer the call until an agent actually answers/accepts.
