waitForAnswered

View as MarkdownOpen in Claude

Wait for the call to reach the answered state. Returns immediately if the call is already answered or past that state. A typed wait over waitFor().

answer() resolves when the platform accepts the command. Call waitForAnswered() afterwards to block until the state event confirms the call is up. A call returned by client.dial() is already answered, so this returns at once.

Parameters

timeout
number | undefined

Maximum milliseconds to wait. Throws an Error if exceeded. undefined waits indefinitely.

Returns

Promise<RelayEvent> — The state-change event.

Example

import { RelayClient } from '@signalwire/sdk';
const client = new RelayClient({
project: process.env.SIGNALWIRE_PROJECT_ID!,
token: process.env.SIGNALWIRE_API_TOKEN!,
contexts: ['default']
});
client.onCall(async (call) => {
await call.answer();
await call.waitForAnswered(5000);
await call.playTTS('Thanks for calling Bayview Taxi.');
});
await client.run();
