Hi guys. I am not understanding how to set up a call/sms forwarding and recording. I have tried whit flows. I can see the inbound call, but there is no forwarding and no recording. I am trying to forward to a +972 phone number, could this be a problem?

**My goal is simple - I wish the call be immediately recorded and forwarded. Same goes for SMS. Nothing complicated. ** Thanks.

tried setting up bins and flows. Nothing seemed to work.

  • I don't think you can record a forwarded call. You'd need to conference the two together, I think: twilio.com/docs/voice/twiml/conference

  • I have 0 coding skills.. Would it be too much to ask the code from you?

  • It would be too much to ask, yes. You may want to hire someone to implement this for you.

You can record an inbound call or an outbound call using the Dial verb with a record attribute in a Twiml Bins (zero coding required) or by following this Twilio Studio walk-through (zero coding required).

Here is the Twiml to record a call:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Response>
    <Dial record="record-from-ringing">
        <Number>+15558675310</Number>
    </Dial>
</Response>

If for some reason you cannot record or forward a call it could be due to a limitation with a free/trial plan.

Twilio also makes this resource available "Legal Considerations with Recording Voice and Video Communications".

  • Awesome thank you so much. And what would the SMS forwarding code be?

  • For SMS, it is similar. This page has a tutorial showing how to use Twiml Bins and Twilio Studio: support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/….
