Were are able to pass some variables to our API and we return 0 or 1 and this then routes to the relevant IVR.
I need to be able pass a parameter back from our api ( an ext number ) and call that extension .
Is there a way to do this ?
Yes. If you populate the field, “Saved result variable name”, then whatever is returned from the URL will be stored in that variable. Generally you want to the API to return a single plain text value that you can work with directly.
So if the “Saved result variable name” is set to api_result, then you can reference it using a Dynroute substitution as [api_result], or anywhere within the call flow as asterisk variable ${DYNROUTE_api_result}
There is nothing in the GUI that would allow you to route a call to an Asterisk variable containing an extension number. To do that, you would need a Custom Destination to your own dialplan that ensures the returned value is a valid extension with a proper failover if it’s not.
Hi,
Thanks for the help so far.
we have managed to extract a extension number from our database and set as ‘xxxx’ we pass this to a custom destination using crm-hangup,${DYNROUTE_xxx_xxx},1.
In the log we the parameters are passed correctly but the extension is not called )’ sent to invalid extension but no invalid handler: context,exten,priority’)
What are we missing here please.
The help shows
This is the Custom Destination to be published. It should be formatted exactly as you would put it in a goto statement, with context, exten, priority all included. An example might look like:
mycustom-app,s,1
What is the syntax please
Or am I doing this the wrong way.
I’ll go through that tomorrow
