<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">I’m starting a new application which has the following functionality: A user calls a certain number at which it gets a few option to choose from. The last option allows the user to be transferred to another IVR application (context) inside our FS instance or bridged with a live person (remote party). So far, this won’t be hard to setup. Now comes the hard part at which I have no experience in. Upon transferring or bridging the call, FS should create an outbound socket to an external application which will control the call. The external process should monitor the length of the call and once its limit is almost reached, playback a message to the user if it wants to continue the call. The user has to press 1 in order to continue, or nothing or 2 to disconnect. <u></u><u></u></p>
