[Freeswitch-users] Current timestamp variable in dialplan?

[Piotr Gregor]

Antony,

This sounds like a job for a module, especially that you mentioned you
would like to upload/send it somewhere and combine it with data from other
services.
You create a module that exports one or more applications, you can call
them from dialplan.
