[Freeswitch-users] Fwd: Originating a call between an user and mod_httapi-based IVR service - passing some correlation ID

[Michael Collins]

Welcome to FreeSWITCH!

Yes, inbound ESL is fine for originating the call. I recommend doing some
tests with originate and dumping all of the information that comes into the
HTTAPI request so that you can get an idea of what values you have to
choose from.

As a shameless plug I will highly recommend the FreeSWITCH
Cookbook<http://link.packtpub.com/nuIOlX>and FreeSWITCH
1.2 <http://www.packtpub.com/freeswitch-1-2/book> book. They will get you
up and running as quickly as possible.

Thanks,
Michael
