Answer

There are no attributes in the answer Function.

Note

It is not usually necessary to use the answer Function, as Wipple CPaaS automatically answers the call when it begins executing the first Function in the application that requires a media connection.

For instance, if your application starts with a say Function, then Wipple CPaaS will automatically answer the call when it begins executing the say Function.

Sometimes, however, on VoIP networks a caller may experience a phenomenum known as clipping, where the leading part of the initial prompt is not heard because the prompt plays immediately on answer before all downstream network elements have established the audio path. In cases like these, it can be useful to start your application with an answer Function followed by a pause of a second or so to stream silence.
