Handle gather timeout in voice api twilio

Question

I'm using gather tag from Twilio API. You can specify timeout as a number of seconds Twilio will wait for first digit/word. The problem is that timeout causes hanging up the call. Is there any chance to receive request in case of timeout? It would be really cool to say sth like Hello, can you repeat? instead of hanging up call.

Answer 1

you can after your gather message have a say messsage (not nested), in theory you can do it as much as yu want, and then add more gathers
