Short answer is yes.

You can implement PubNub or Webhook, then register for the telephony session notification

Then you can use the Call Control APIs to answer incoming calls.

PubNub or Webhook helps in event subscription which means you will receiving server-side notifications about events of interest to an application. It's actually method of receiving push notifications and customize your app. RingCentral APIs let you customize your own apps to make and receive calls,
