I’m using this post to get notification when a caller calls in, but I want to add the phone number that they dialed (becuase I have 10 DIDs pointing to it).
I see on voip-info What are Asterisk variables and how to use them they point out that I should be able to use ${DNID}: Dialed Number Identifier.
I’ve also tried ${CALLERID(dnid)} (below) and the email never gives me anything for that varriable.
Here is my entry into extensions_custom.conf
[send-email]
exten => s,1,NoOp(Entering user defined context [send-email] in extensions_custom.conf)
exten => s,n,System(echo ‘${CALLERID(number)} called telephone number ${CALLERID(dnid)}’ | mail -s ‘New call to ${CALLERID(dnid)}’ ‘[email protected]’)
exten => s,n,hangup()
If you want to receive an email each time a DID is called (which is not exactly what @lgaetz solution was meant to do), a better solution would be to use the Send to email module of CID Superfecta…
I am not a 100% sure it provides the DID number that was called, you would have to check…
(I just remembered that I had this problem with another CID Superfecta module, I will have to take a look at this again…)
I did not remember that I had tried to have it working with Send to email too…
For some reason when I tried to have the “getter” return DID it didn’t work, it only worked if I hardcoded what the “getter” returned (which is of course useless…).
I will try to have a look at it in the coming days…
