Capture phone number in dialogflow session id

[srijan14]

Is it possible to set the custom dialogflow session id (so that it captures the phone number of the user ) when starting the dialogflow connection ?

@srijan14 that is interesting. Were you able to figure out a good solution handling this?

You can get the caller id by Adding this code in the server.js file

First, change the request format into JSON by adding these two lines

app.use(express.urlencoded({ extended: true }));
app.use(express.json()) // To parse the incoming requests with JSON payloads

Then get the number from your post route like this

app.post("/twiml", (request, response) => {
const phoneNumber = request.body.From;
response.setHeader("Content-Type", "application/xml");
// ngrok sets x-original-host header
const host = request.headers['x-original-host'] || request.hostname;
response.render("twiml", { host, layout: false });
});
