Examples

The following example shows a catch of the digit 0, automatically sending the call to the operator:

<dialplan name="Root">
    <catch goto="OpCall" name="OperatorCall" type="digit" value="0">
        <menu>
            <play type="tts" voice="female2">
                Please enter "one" if you agree. Enter zero at any time to reach an operator.
            </play>
            <keypress pressed="1">
                <stash varname="question1">1</stash>
            </keypress>
        </menu>
    </catch>
    <transfer callerid="${call.callerid}" name="OpCall">2135551212</transfer>
</dialplan>

The following occurs when the call is hung up. It takes certain information and stashes it in the Call Details report before the IVR terminates:

<dialplan name="Root">
    <catch goto="HangupSave" name="hangup" type="hangup">
        <menu name="Menu2">
            <play type="tts" voice="female2">
                Please enter "one" for strongly agree or "nine" for strongly disagree.
            </play>
            <keypress pressed="Default">
                <stash varname="question2">${call.lastinput}</stash>
            </keypress>
        </menu>
    </catch>
<stash name="HangupSave" varname="CallerInfo">${call.callerid}</stash>
</dialplan>
