Transfer a call with inline NCCO

A code snippet that shows how to transfer control of the current call to control using inline NCCO.

Example

Replace the following variables in the example code:

Key	Description
`UUID`	The UUID of the call to modify.
`action`	The action to use in updating the call. In this case `transfer`.

Prerequisites

Modifying an existing call requires that the UUID provided is a currently active call. To modify a call, you must use the same VONAGE_APPLICATION_ID and private key that were used to create the call.

Execute the following command at your terminal prompt to create the JWT for authentication:

export JWT=$(nexmo jwt:generate $PATH_TO_PRIVATE_KEY application_id=$NEXMO_APPLICATION_ID)

Write the code

Add the following to transfer-call-inline-ncco.sh:

Copy to Clipboard

curl -X PUT https://api.nexmo.com/v1/calls/$UUID \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer "$JWT \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"\
  -d '{"action": "transfer",
      "destination": {"type": "ncco", "ncco": [{"action":"talk", "text":"This is a transfer action using an inline NCCO"}]}}'

ruby transfer-a-call-ncco.rb

Try it out

You will need to:

Set up a call and obtain the call UUID. You could use the 'connect an inbound call' code snippet to do this.
Run the example code to transfer the call.
Control will be transferred to a new NCCO, and you will hear a text-to-speech message to confirm this.
