Hi Guys,

Is there any form of Answer phone detection in FS? A search hasn’t really brought up anything

Nik,

Right now there is mod_vmd. It sets the channel variable vmd_detect if it detects a beep. If a beep is detected it will set vmd_detect=TRUE. If no beep is detected then it won't do anything.

Example of usage as follows (with the outcome being hangup if answering machine is detected):

<extension name="110">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^110$">
<action application="answer"/>
<action application="vmd"/>
<action application="playback" data="$SOMEFILE"/>
<action application="transfer" data="111 xml $context/>
</condition>
</extension>


<extension name="111">
<condition field="destination_number" expression="^111$"/>
<condition field="${vmd_detect}" expression="^TRUE">
<action application="hangup"/>
<anti-action application="transfer" data="112 xml $context"/>
</condition>
</extension>

And Ken Rice also has a mod that can be licensed that probably is a better solution and works much better.

Hope this helps.
