Node Voice Quickstart

This quickstart serves as a guide to get your first Voice application up and running with FreeClimb.

Specifically, the project will:

• Receive an incoming call via a FreeClimb application
• Respond with a PerCL command to say 'Hello World!' to caller

Tutorial

We offer a Node.js Voice Quickstart Tutorial for more detailed set-up instructions and explanation of how FreeClimb works.

Requirements

• A FreeClimb account

• A registered application with a named alias

• A configured FreeClimb number assigned to your application

• Trial accounts: a verified number

Tools:

• Node.js 12.14.0 or higher
• Yarn
• ngrok (recommended for hosting)

Setting up the Quickstart

1. Install the required packages

   yarn install

2. Make your local server publicly accessible

   ngrok http 3000

   Once you run ngrok you should receive a response with a public URL, that looks something like 'https://ba1c-63-209-137-19.ngrok-free.app'.

3. Configure your applications's endpoints by adding a publicly accessible URL (we recommend an ngrok URL) and the route reference /incomingCall to your App Config's VoiceURL:

   https://YOUR-URL.ngrok.io/incomingCall

Running the Quickstart

1. Start your voice quickstart application

   yarn start

2. Call the FreeClimb number assigned to the application you've configured for this tutorial

Using Docker to Run the Quickstart

1. Pull docker image from dockerhub

   docker pull freeclimbapi/node-voice-quickstart

2. Run docker image

   docker run -p 3000:3000 freeclimbapi/node-voice-quickstart
