<DIV>Just from my experence, it's a lot easier to write the whole logic, for a complex IVR in something (lua, perl, python, C#, F#) or anything else that FS supports, rather then trying to cram it in to the simple IVR application. Remember you can do foreign DB access or talk to anything else (web service, raw http service, etc...) from any of the languages directly.</DIV>

<DIV>I do almost all external interaction with C# modules, runnig inside of FS. Makes life real easy :)</DIV>

<P>Whether or not you hand it back to mod_ivr or not, to set a channel variable in Lua:</P>
<P>session:setVariable("varname", "varvalue");</P>
<P>This has the same effect as using the set application in the dialplan:</P>
<P><action application="set" data="varname=varvalue"/></P>
<P>You can read the variable in Lua like this:</P>
<P>varname = session:getVariable("varname");</P>
