We hope to achieve a target about detecting answering machine.
1: When detect human answer, go through regular steps.
2: When detect answering machine, left a voice message.

After going over modules help, does not locate the settings for detecting the answer machine.
Any help will be appreciated. :)

There is no way to automatically detect this in Fuse+ however the most common workaround is to include an introduction prompt like "This is x calling about yz, please press 1 to continue."

If there are 3 no inputs, then assume it is an answering machine. If there is a DTMF input, you know there is a person on the other line.
