[Freeswitch-users] fifo callers when > call limit until limit no longer exceeded

[Vallimamod Abdullah]

Hi,

With the limit app, you can also send the call to a different extension instead of rejecting it with user_busy:

<action application="limit" data="hash inbound ${destination_number} ${call_limit} queue_ext XML queue_context"/>

The over limit calls will be transferred to the queue_context context with queue_ext extension.

But for your use case, I think the limit is no more necessary, you can directly use mod_fifo.

Best Regards,

If none of the 5 calls clears before a minute has elapsed, I want to transfer that 6th call to a different destination. If a 7th call enters the queue, the 6th call should be the next to get a channel because it has been in the queue longer.
