Answering Machine Detection

[adamreed90]

Hello, I was curious if you've pursued implementing AMD with this framework?

Hi @adamreed90!

At this point in time the API should be on par with plivo/plivoframework which never implemented AMD as a first class feature. It doesn't mean it cannot be implemented as a backwards compatible add-on!

I've successfully implemented AMD scenarios, however unbeknownst to Eqivo: webitel/mod_amd is a rather advanced fork of the original module so with it bundled in the FreeSWITCH image, it can be invoked when originating calls, specifically the ExtraDialString parameter should include execute_on_answer=amd.

As a first class feature, this wouldn't be necessary and webhooks are also possible as the recommended mod_amd fork fires FreeSWITCH events once the analysis is complete.

Hi @adamreed90 --

Answering machine detection is now (as of v0.5.4 🎉) implemented as a first calls feature, this is achieved in a Twilioesque fashion, by passing the MachineDetection parameter when placing new calls.

The detection itself is performed via mod_amd and mod_avmd (shipped with FreeSWITCH). A compatible Docker image is readily available: rtckit/eqivo-freeswitch.

Awesome! Great work!

[adamreed90]

Is it possible to do this in an asynchronous method, like Twilio does for example?

[cdosoftei]

Yes! Check out the AsyncAMD parameter here: https://eqivo.org/#v0-1-call

I'm sorry I missed that, thank you so much for your help, can't wait to give this a go!
