Force Dialing

You might want to force a particular Twilio number to just call another number. Just use the following webhook.

/helpline-search.php?ForceNumber=8885551212 or for extension dialing /helpline-search.php?ForceNumber=8885551212%7Cwwww700. Each w is a 1 second pause.

In some cases, when using 1 second pauses you may want to indicate that there is something happening to the end user as there will be a delay.

If you would like there to be a CAPTCHA to prevent robocalls + fax machines, you can add this to your query.

&Captcha=1

And/or, if you would like to have a basic waiting message, but no CAPTCHA use.

&WaitingMessage=1

These options can be combined.
