Asterisks Voicemail and Getting files to the Database
For this weeks assignment, I created a simple voicemail dialplan by converting audio files I recorded to .gsm files. I gave the caller two options. If they are members of freeformed.org they press one, if not they press two. If they press one they are able to leave a voicemail, if not they are greeted with a message telling them to go register for freeformed and call back. The one problem I had was I couldnt figure out how to get rid of the default voicemail greeting. Here is the dialplan.
Then, i reconfigured the voicemail.conf to send the voicemail messages to the email address phone@freeformed.org. I also renamed and reconfigured the popper currently working on freeformed to check this email address and put the files into a table in our database called phone. I was trying to first convert the .wav files to mp3 using ffmpeg but its not working yet.
