You could always just write your own dialplan module… theres several examples in the code base of the using that C api From: FreeSWITCH-users <freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org> On Behalf Of Gilles SAUVAIRE Sent: Wednesday, August 10, 2022 12:49 AM To: 'FreeSWITCH Users Help' <freeswitch-users@lists.freeswitch.org> Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] launch an external program in dialplan Importance: High Thanks.

I think a LUA script can do it? If anyone has an example script, I'm interested. Or is another technique better? Launching an external program at each call can be very resource-intensive, maybe make a request on a specific web service port, or something else? the idea is to add the user's name in the from. (but this name changes depending on the external context, it must be calculated, I cannot make a simple database query) someone has already done it I guess I'm not the first to have this need...
