Read Forwarding Settings for a Person
Retrieve a person's Call Forwarding settings.
Three types of call forwarding are supported:
Always - forwards all incoming calls to the destination you choose.
When busy - forwards all incoming calls to the destination you chose while the phone is in use or the person is busy.
When no answer - forwarding only occurs when you are away or not answering your phone.
In addition, the Business Continuity feature will send calls to a destination of your choice if your phone is not connected to the network for any reason, such as a power outage, failed Internet connection, or wiring problem.
This API requires a full, user, or read-only administrator or location administrator auth token with a scope of spark-admin:people_read or a user auth token with spark:people_read scope can be used by a person to read their own settings.
URI Parameters
Unique identifier for the person.
Query Parameters
