Joining a Webex conference using Twilio api

I want to join Webex conference using Twilio api. I am using Call class like this:

Call call = Call.creator(toNum, fromNum, twiMLUrl).setSendDigits(dialCode).setStatusCallback(STATUS_CALLBACK_URL).setStatusCallbackEvent(callbackEvents).create();

Here fromNum is my Twilio number, toNum is the phone number provided by Webex and dialCode is the participant code

I am unable to join the conference. I feel it is because webex asks to enter "1" to confirm the participant code in the end while joining.

Is there a way in api to send that "1" to confirm?

Twilio developer evangelist here.

It's a little bit blunt, but you can send pauses as part of the sendDigits parameter. Every "w" you send as part of the string will pause for half a second.

It might take a bit of testing, but you should be able to make your dialCode out of the initial code, say "1234", a few pauses and then the final "1". Like 1234wwwwww1.

Let me know if that helps at all.
