[Freeswitch-users] Fax result when using mail to fax

[Peter Steinbach]

Hello Bipin,

the fax result is only available, long after the dialplan has beeen
evaluated.

So you will somehow have to use some event driven things.
execute_on_fax_success would have been the next thing to propose, but id
did not work in your case.

In Linux you can use inotify. We have also used this method for getting
certain infos from the Freeswitch logfile and then to fire actions (in
our case firewall rules). Maybe this is an approach for you?

Best regards
Peter
