Hi folks,
I have a FreeSwitch serving multiple services. One of them is fax2mail/mail2fax. Logic is implemented as a set of lua scripts and it works fine. I’d like extend mail2fax direction. Currently it (lua script) picks number B, tiff file and sends it directly to B using command originate as follows:

originate {<_bunch_of_headers_>} sofia/service/+4812345678@some.domain ([email]sofia/service/+4812345678@some.domain[/email]);user=phone &txfax(<_tiff_file_path_>) XML <_some_profile_>

What I’d like to do is to add possibility to dial some other extension number. Lest’s say fax is available on +4812345678 but when the call is aswered there needs to be dialed number 123.

I’ve already reviewed all FreeSwitch books on safaribooks, googled but I haven't found any example… :-/

Maybe it is enough to simply add it to the call url - I mean something like:

originate {<_bunch_of_headers_>} sofia/service/+4812345678,,123@some.domain (123@some.domain);user=phone &txfax(<_tiff_file_path_>) XML <_some_profile_>

Can you give me some hint how to do that?


Thanks in advance,
Grzegorz

Review this, it may give you a road map https://raw.githubusercontent.com/signalwire/freeswitch/master/scripts/perl/fax.cgi

The key here is ignore_early_media=true, you don't want to be in the txfax app until the remote answers, because you are in a chicken egg scenario where the fax will fail or t.38 will fail as it will attempt to do so before the other party answers.
