[Freeswitch-users] PC Based Caller-id Monitor?

[Nathan Neulinger]

I do something like this - we call it a "Notify Call" hook, and just send an email notification with caller id info on 
any incoming call to an extension that has that hook enabled. I'm sure you could do something similar.

         <action application="set" data="notify_call_address=username at mst.edu" />
         <action application="perl" data="/local/freeswitch/bin/notify-call-hook.pl" />

and then:

--------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use MIME::Lite;
require "/local/freeswitch/bin/hook-libs.pl";

our $session;
my $addr     = $session->getVariable("notify_call_address");
my $to       = $session->getVariable("destination_number");
my $from     = $session->getVariable("effective_caller_id_number") || $session->getVariable("caller_id_number");
my $fromname = $session->getVariable("effective_caller_id_name") || $session->getVariable("caller_id_name");

my $time = scalar( localtime(time) );

freeswitch::console_log( "info", "sending notify for call from $from to $to to address $addr\n" );

my $msg = MIME::Lite->new(
     From    => "freeswitch\@mst.edu",
     To      => $addr,
     Subject => "Receiving call from ($from / $fromname) to ($to) at ($time)",
     Type    => "multipart/mixed"
);

my $content = <<EOF;
Call To: $to
Call From: $from

Caller Name: $fromname

Call Time: $time
EOF

$msg->attach(
     Type => 'TEXT',
     Data => $content,
);

&stack_max();
$msg->send();
&stack_restore();
--------------------------------------
