Send Digit String Step

Use the Send Digit String step to out-pulse back to the caller a specified set of DTMF digits.

The DTMF digits are sent out-of-band and out-pulsed in-band by the gateways.

Note

You can insert a “,” (comma) in the sequence of DTMF digits to instruct the script to insert a 1-second pause before continuing to out-pulse the remaining DTMF digits. You can use multiple commas to increase the length of the pause.
