Nik,

Welcome to FreeSWITCH! The short answer is "yes, FS can do that." The first thing that you should do is unlearn "the Asterisk way" of thinking. Usually there is an elegant way of doing things in FS that wasn't possible in Ast.

I would recommend that you start by looking at the event socket, which is somewhat analogous to the AMI only cooler. :) I have personally done something similar to this using the event socket and a Perl script. The key is to learn the syntax of the originate command. (definitely hit the wiki and IRC channel)

Are you using TDM cards for this? Just curious.

Hi Guys,



As a long time Asterisk user, I’m looking into freeswitch as an alte rnative mainly due to (list multiple reasons here)



Can anyone give me a pointer as to how I would achieve the following?



I need to replicate an emergency broadcast system currently running under Asterisk.



At the moment, I run through a Mysql database and using the manager API, issues an Originate command to dial a number.



When the call is answered, a message is played, and the recipient has the option of hitting a digit to confirm receipt. I then call an AGI script to update the database.



Is this fairly easy to do in Freeswitch?



Not looking for code, just some pointers as to what’s available to d o the above /



Regards,
