FreeSWITCH 1.8

IVR in demo config

Let's first have a look at the IVR that answers extension 5000 of the demo configuration. In /usr/local/freeswitch/conf/dialplan/default.xml dialplan it is defined as follows:

 
    <extension name="ivr_demo">   
      <condition field="destination_number" expression="^5000$"> 
        <action application="answer"/> 
        <action application="sleep" data="2000"/> 
        <action application="ivr" data="demo_ivr"/> 
      </condition> 
    </extension> 

This is easily one of the most exercised single snippets of FreeSWITCH configuration, because is so easy to use for testing purposes after a fresh installation. The relevant line is <action application="ivr" data="demo_ivr"/>, which will execute the "ivr" dialplan application, giving the string "demo_ivr" as argument.
