[Freeswitch-users] Conditional testing on caller_id_name

[Michael Collins]

Phil,

Perhaps you could try running the action inline? Change:
<action application="set"
data="cid_name=${cidlookup(${caller_id_number})}"/>

to:
<action application="set" data="cid_name=${cidlookup(${caller_id_number})}"
inline="true"/>

And see what happens...
