All I want is a simple message like "Smitty called."Running something from inside Asterisk: System(mail -s "Smitty called" your_alias) (stdi is redirected from /dev/null, so this will not hang, right). But it is even simpler from the script that generates the call file. -- Tzafrir Cohen icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir@jabber.org +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen@xorcom.com http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest@local.xorcom.com/tzafrir
Put this in the incoming context for that number called.
Exten => s,1,Wait(1)
Exten => s.2.System("mail -s 'Smitty called from
${CALLERID(all)'
you@email.com")
Exten => s,3,Congestion

Subject: [asterisk-users] Trigger and Email in Dial Plan
I have a friend traveling overseas. I want to allow him to call a
number which will give him a busy signal (so no charge), but will then
send me an email that he has called.
I know how to use a call file to trigger a call (I created a callback
system for myself when I traveled overseas a few months ago), but I
don't know how to trigger an email. All I want is a simple message like
"Smitty called."
Any ideas?
