I have been doing some reading about gtalk and asterisk. Most of it is pointed to enable using gtalk for making phonecalls. Would it be possible to use gtalk instant messaging input (just some text send to the gtalk account configured on an asterisk box) into the dialplan. This way you could use gtalk im to trigger all kind of events like sending an sms, adding sip entries to the system, start conferences etc. etc. The basic question is: is it possible to store the received Gtalk message into a variable that can be used to trigger events in a dialplan (which isn't actually a "dial" plan anymore) or doesn't anything like that exists at this moment. Is this just a crazy thought or does the idea of triggering events in the dialplan via Gtalk im input make sense.
I was thinking about a call with the im message as a variable in it starting a local channel that goes into the relevant part of the dialplan. examples: sms: "Could you please call Mark" "0612345678" for sending an sms sip_entry: "500" "cdwtg_34$" "ALAW" "snom320" for adding a sip entry to sip.conf with number 500 and password cdwtg_34$ for a snom320 conference: "0591234567" "0201234567" "0612345678: for setting up a conference between this numbers All the logic has to be in the dialplan or scripts but it all should start with receiving a message send by a gtalk client. My personal opinion is that it would make a great and easy to explain user interface that can be used from every pc and every pda or smartphone. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
