hi, i think i have one other plan, let me try that and ill get back with the result. i have on more issue, when i send a fax using the originate command, it results in 2 invites being sent to the gateway, one sends the fax and i get report for that but the other fails so i also get a failed report for that, any idea what could be causing this, my originate command is as below originate [ignore_early_media=true,fax_verbose=true,fax_enable_t38_request=true,fax_enable_t38=true,absolute_codec_string=PCMU]sofia/gateway/ma/123466789 &txfax(\'" + att_path + ".tiff\')" Regards, Bipin Talky Communications VoIP/SMS/DID Services +971-55-9270058 www.talkycom.com <http://www.talkycom.com/> www.xbipin.com <http://www.xbipin.com/> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Fax result when using mail to fax From: Peter Steinbach <lists@telefaks.de> To: FreeSWITCH Users Help <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Date: 5/16/2017, 11:38:18 AM
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

hi,
well considering im running this FS on the raspberry pi for a small office, ESL would be like a lot just for the purpose, if the console can display the fax result then why isnt it possible to get the same in dialplan or somewhere else where i can fire a script or something and let the sender know what happened to their fax.
i tried using execute_on_fax_success and execute_on_fax_failure but they dont seem to work while sending a fax, i think its for receiving only
Regards, Bipin

Hello Bipin,
there are some events fired via ESL, if you subscribe to them. We evaluate txfaxresult event and hangup event.
The only thing which is critcal here, is that the contents of the 2 events have to be joined, in order to have all informations. And in my experience txfaxresult and hangup event do not always come in the same order, dependend on which side of the channels hangs up first.

Hi,
I have a python script that checks a mailbox for faxes to be sent, when it finds a new mail it downloads the PDF and converts to Tiff and sends via the originate command, now the problem is I can't seem to find a way to get the fax report, nor in cdr it says what happened and the originate just says ok followed by uuid of the bridge. I'm sending the fax over a fxo gateway device. Due to it going over fxo, I have no clue if the remote fax machine answered call and the only place the fax report comes is in the console. Is there a variable or anything else that can be resent to the python script telling what the result was. I tried the execute on fax successful and fail variable but they don't seem to work.
My python script generates the originate command going to loopback which goes to dial plan where the actual bridge to fxo gateway happens.
How are others dealing with fax report I would love to hear.
Regards, Bipin
