Javascript Example - Answering Machine
About
This is a basic answering machine application designed for the typical home pbx. It will play a greeting message you have previously recorded, then beep, and record the callers message. It then emails the voice message to one or more email addresses. This way you can get your home voicemail even while on the road. When done sending the email it removes the temporary voice file to keep from filling your drive up. It has a number of configurable options that are documented in the code below.

(Doc in Progress NOT COMPLETE - Kyle) This is a simple answering application using javascript:
This application uses basically two scripts, which contains the general logic of the application and includes inc_ file.js which contains the functions used:
answer.js (includes: inc_answer.js inc_logger.js)
vmListen.js (includes: inc_vmListen.js inc_logger.js)
recordgreeting.js
All of these .js files should be added to the /scripts directory.

lang_en.xml
This is for the speak phrase used in the JavaScript.
lang_en.xml
<macro name="speak">
<input pattern="(.*)">
<match>
<action function="speak-text" data="$1"/>
</match>
</input>
</macro>
The file structure starts at /var/spool/freeswitch then directories are created as messages are left. The directory will be given the same name as the registered phone extension. Within the directory, messages left will be given the id of the call session with a .wav extension along with a file having a .meta extension. The .meta file is a text file that will contain the callerID, callerName, createdDay, createdDate, createdTime, heard flag, and a markForDeletion flag.
The /var/spool/freeswitch must be created manually but the directories underneath will be created as messages are left.
Example of .meta file:
callerID=2666 callerName=Kyle's PC createdDay=4 createdDate=1 22, 2007 createdTime=8:12:39 heard=true markForDeletion=false
