[Freeswitch-users] ESL Outbound for driving IVRs

[Alex Balashov]

Hi,

Is there any practical way to take drive IVRs dynamically - via an API - 
while taking advantage of the more high-level features of the 'ivr' module?

As I understand it, there's no way to pass in the IVR configuration 
parameters, i.e. the <menu> tags and their parameters, via ESL.  At 
least, I can't find 'ivr' API commands anywhere.  It seems to me that 
the only way to do this dynamically would be to mod_xml_curl to 
dynamically generate the XML config data in those sections.

Can anyone confirm or deny that?  It would certainly be nice to be able 
to do this purely through ESL outbound instead.

Of course, at the end of the day, all these IVR actions can be manually 
scripted out through dialplan applications and orchestrated through ESL 
that way.  But that implies a fair amount of wheel invention, on the 
basis that the 'ivr' module provides higher-level wrapping for a lot of 
it.  I'd like to use it if possible.

Thanks,

-- Alex
