Thanks Nathan. Email won't work for me, but your solution "made the light go on" for me. -----Original Message----- From: freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org [mailto:freeswitch-users-bounces@lists.freeswitch.org] On Behalf Of Nathan Neulinger Sent: Monday, April 28, 2014 2:35 PM To: FreeSWITCH Users Help Subject: Re: [Freeswitch-users] PC Based Caller-id Monitor? I do something like this - we call it a "Notify Call" hook, and just send an email notification with caller id info on any incoming call to an extension that has that hook enabled. I'm sure you could do something similar. <action application="set" data="notify_call_address=username@mst.edu" /> <action application="perl" data="/local/freeswitch/bin/notify-call-hook.pl" /> and then: -------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use MIME::Lite; require "/local/freeswitch/bin/hook-libs.pl"; our $session; my $addr = $session->getVariable("notify_call_address"); my $to = $session->getVariable("destination_number"); my $from = $session->getVariable("effective_caller_id_number") || $session->getVariable("caller_id_number"); my $fromname = $session->getVariable("effective_caller_id_name") || $session->getVariable("caller_id_name"); my $time = scalar( localtime(time) ); freeswitch::console_log( "info", "sending notify for call from $from to $to to address $addr\n" ); my $msg = MIME::Lite->new( From => "freeswitch\@mst.edu", To => $addr, Subject => "Receiving call from ($from / $fromname) to ($to) at ($time)", Type => "multipart/mixed" ); my $content = <<EOF; Call To: $to Call From: $from Caller Name: $fromname Call Time: $time EOF $msg->attach( Type => 'TEXT', Data => $content, ); &stack_max(); $msg->send(); &stack_restore(); -------------------------------------- -- Nathan On 04/28/2014 11:26 AM, Sean Devoy wrote:

Hi All,

My client has their DID ringing 2 extensions. He says "at night when they are gone I would love to have caller id from their extension (aka did) to decide if I want to pick up the outside call"

He does not want his phone to ring from the DID all the time, but wants the caller-id on his phone or PC. I need ideas how to accomplish this. ESL app? The app would not necessarily have to monitor for incoming calls if there is a way to "query" the caller id of an incoming call to a given extension.

Thanks,

Sean
