Hi Michael, Yes that's exactly what it boils down to, an outbound ivr. Everything is working perfectly, except the bridge to another number. Because of the nature of the beast the bridge needs to dial an external number (ie sofia/gateway/Mygateway/num) What I'm getting is: attempt to perform arithmetic on global 'sofia' (a nil value) regards -----Original Message----- From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Michael Collins Sent: 18 February 2009 21:09 To: freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] Originate and bridge with lua On Wed, Feb 18, 2009 at 11:53 AM, Nik Middleton <nik.middleton@noblesolutions.co.uk> wrote:
I'm trying to build an emergency broadcasting solution.
So I place a call, and have ivr in the lua script. But I also want to give them the option of speaking to someone.
If they hit the option to speak to someone, while I can fire an event to originate a call, I'm not sure how I could bridge the 2 call legs.
Regards,
So really, it's just an outbound IVR, no? Just for a specific purpose. I would recommend using the event socket and bgapi originate commands from a central program/script/controller thingy. Generate the calls and then drop them into a dialplan or script that controls them. I like to use the dialpan but it really does not matter. Using a script lets you make changes without doing a reloadxml command. In any case, your originate commands could be something like this: bgapi originate {myvar='myval',myvar2='myval2'}sofia/gateway/mygateway/user@domain 5555 Have extension 5555 do the gruntwork of confirming that you actually had a successful call, got a human on the line, etc. It can also handle failures that are not handled by the originate itself. (Depends on whether or not you ignore early media.) In any case, you've got a single dp entry that handles the mundane call handling. Then, if there is a human on the line, you can do something like this: <action application="lua" data="ivr_start.lua ${myval} ${myval2}"/> Now you can write a plain Lua script that only has to handle the delivery of the message. You can handle a DTMF event and the callback function could use session:execute("bridge","agent") to connect the called party with your agent. Hope that helps. -MC _______________________________________________ Freeswitch-users mailing list Freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/freeswitch-users UNSUBSCRIBE:http://lists.freeswitch.org/mailman/options/freeswitch-users http://www.freeswitch.org
