I'm back to working on the voicemail notification. The lua script is being called, and I can get important variables with these calls: action = event:getHeader("VM-Action") if action ~= "leave-message" then return end user = event:getHeader("VM-User") caller_id_name = event:getHeader("VM-Caller-ID-Name") caller_id_number = event:getHeader("VM-Caller-ID-Number") uuid = event:getHeader("VM-UUID") message_len = event:getHeader("VM-Message-Len") timestamp = event:getHeader("VM-Timestamp") I have some of the important information here, like which voicemail box got the message, who's it from, when, and how long it was. At this point I'd like to send this information as an SMS message using a CURL call into the Flowroute SMS API. The important bit of data is to whom to send the SMS message. I put the SMS number into the directory XML structure, like this: <include> <user id="1004"> <params> <param name="vm-mailto" value="user@example.com"/> </params> <variables> <variable name="effective_caller_id_name" value="Joe Smith"/> <variable name="effective_caller_id_number" value="1004"/> <variable name="outbound_caller_id_name" value="$${outbound_caller_name}"/> <variable name="outbound_caller_id_number" value="$${outbound_caller_id}"/> <variable name="vm-notify-sms" value="1408497xxxx"/> </variables> </user> </include> I'd like to pull that vm-notify-sms variable that I created. The documented way to get variables from a lua script is the session:getVariable() function, but the session variable is not defined when this event hook is called. However, the log file shows my script is being called before the session is destroyed, so I'm thinking perhaps I can access it from the uuid variable. How do I do this? I also looked for an "env" object, which is created when a hangup hook is called, but it seems that is only set on a hangup hook, not an event hook. How can I access the session or directory variables? -- Steve
