FYI, check this page out:
http://wiki.freeswitch.org/wiki/Misc._Dialplan_Tools_execute_extension

Just remember the difference between "transfer" and "execute_extension"
Transfer will go and never come back
Execute_extension will go "run" an extension like a subroutine and then come back

Happy dialplanning!

you can bind to execute_extension app and point it at an extension you setup just for that which plays a beep then starts recording.  execute_extension lets you execute any extension like it was a little program.

Hi,
 
I would like to know if the following scenario is possible with Freeswitch:
 
A connection is established between two endpoints ( soft phones).  On one end, someone presses *1, a BEEP that indicates the beginning of recording is heard, and then Freeswitch starts to record.  I can get recording to work with the following line from wiki:
 
<action application="bind_meta_app" data="2 a s record_session::$${base_dir}/recordings/${caller_id_number}.${strftime(%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S)}.wav"/>
 
In order to generate the BEEP tone, I would need the bin_meta_app to execute two actions, one to gnerate the BEEP and the other to recrod. 
 
How can I change the dialplan to do that?
 
Thanks in advance for all your help.
 
Woody
