[Freeswitch-users] Using chat command in a dialplan

Sun Jul 24 02:22:20 MSD 2011

Just so the robots get this:

Turns out you cannot initiate an action (e.g. originate) in an
existing session. It should probably give a better error than usage.
However, I modified mod_commands to allow originating in an existing
session and it works, so I'll be continuing this discussion on
freeswitch-dev.

Thanks Steven!
