Hi, I was wondering if your zoom api has the feature to initiate a dial-in to an intercom system using existing TIFs (telephone interfaces) ---

Hi @jason.kornegay Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum and welcome to our community, I do not believe we have an endpoint that allows you dial-in to an intercom. Here is the link to our Phone APIs > **[Zoom Phone API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/phone/methods/#overview)** > > API Reference for /docs/api/rest/reference/phone/methods ---

Is there any ability to place a call on behalf of a user ( and trigger on their physical phone ) without the need of Zoom Desktop Client? I genuinely don’t understand why thats a requirement when I can make account breaking changes via API but not place a call on their behalf without your middleman application. Or am I missing something? ---

Hi @ctc.aaron No, you are not missing anything. Unfortunately, we do not have an endpoint that will allow you to trigger phone calls on behalf of a user. Please, feel free to make a feature request here: > **[Feature Requests](https://devforum.zoom.us/c/feature-requests/23)** > > Have an API or SDK feature request? Share it here! ---

That is unfortunate. That seems like such a huge oversight. We are exploring switching from Avaya to Zoom and to be required so much extra configuration just to have a mediocre solution to this issue is rather disappointing. ---
