DetectAction | SignalWire

Returned from call.detect(). Tracks an active detection operation (answering machine, fax tone, or digit detection). Terminal states: finished, error.

Unlike other actions, DetectAction also resolves on the first detection result, not just on terminal state events. This means await action.wait() returns as soon as a detection is made.

Inherits all properties and methods from the base Action interface (controlId, isDone, completed, result, wait()).

Properties

No additional properties beyond the base Action interface.

Methods

stop

Stop detection immediately.

1 import { RelayClient } from '@signalwire/sdk';

3 const client = new RelayClient({
4   project: process.env.SIGNALWIRE_PROJECT_ID!,
5   token: process.env.SIGNALWIRE_TOKEN!,
6   contexts: ['default']
7 });
8 
9 client.onCall(async (call) => {
10   await call.answer();
11   const action = await call.detect({
12     type: 'machine',
13     params: { initialTimeout: 5.0 },
14   });
15 
16   const event = await action.wait(10000);
17   const detectResult = event.params.detect ?? {};
18   console.log(`Detected: ${JSON.stringify(detectResult)}`);
19 });
