Hello Freeswitch users.

Currently when I originate a call in my IVR application, I execute the API originate command like this: api originate {variable1=data,variable2=data}sofia/gateway/outbound/<number> &park() xml default So yes I have a gateway called outbound and this originates a call by dialling the specified number on that gateway and parking it. I get the UUID and can then do stuff with it.

But what I really want to do is originate a call by putting the specified phone number through the dialplan so Freeswitch can work out which endpoint to use. I am sure this must be possible but I can't figure out how to do it.

Just to summarise, I want to originate a call to a number which might be a local extension or it might be a number that is reached through a gateway. Why can't I do something like: api originate {variable1=data,variable2=data}<number> &park() xml default I want Freeswitch to work out which Sofia profile and endpoint to use. I want Freeswitch to park the call in the same way as above and give me the UUID. Is this possible?

Can anyone help with this please?
