I am calling cidlookup in my dial plan like this: <action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_number=$1" inline="true"/> And in my log I see: a6a3d389-245d-4705-9a1e-91d74d491dd1 Dialplan: sofia/external/+12297960236@4.59.156.121:5060 Action set(effective_caller_id_name=${cidlookup(${caller_id_number})}) I'm trying to use it in an lua script that is called right after the above action line but the log seems to indicate that it doesn't actually get executed until some time later. a6a3d389-245d-4705-9a1e-91d74d491dd1 Dialplan: sofia/external/+12297960236@4.59.156.121:5060 Action info() a6a3d389-245d-4705-9a1e-91d74d491dd1 Dialplan: sofia/external/+12297960236@4.59.156.121:5060 Action lua(cid.lua ${caller_id_number} ${effective_caller_id_name}) INLINE a6a3d389-245d-4705-9a1e-91d74d491dd1 EXECUTE sofia/external/+12297960236@4.59.156.121:5060 lua(cid.lua +12297960236 ) 2018-05-09 20:28:02.349228 [DEBUG] freeswitch_lua.cpp:365 DBH handle 0x7fefd0092e70 Connected. a6a3d389-245d-4705-9a1e-91d74d491dd1 2018-05-09 20:28:02.349228 [DEBUG] switch_cpp.cpp:745 CoreSession::setVariable(effective_caller_id_name, ALL LOCATION CZ) How can I get the data into my lua script?
