Stash

Definition

Stores the varname and value for this call on the CallFire interface (in the Call Details Report). NOTE: the <stash> tag stores the contents of the variable in the Call Detail Report -- it does not make the contents available for later reference. To create a variable for later reference, see the <setvar> tag.

Value

The data string associated with this varname once the call has ended. The value may be a specific string or a reference to a CallFire system variable such as ${call.lastinput} or ${myrecording}. The tag also supports basic math and Boolean expressions in JavaScript.

Attributes

Attribute Required Values Description
name N any text A unique name for the tag
varname Y any text The name assigned to the variable

Examples

The following example shows a menu where a user presses 1 and the system stashes a 1 into the variable "question1."

<dialplan name="Root">
    <menu name="Menu1">
        <play type="tts" voice="female2">
            Please enter "one" if you agree
        </play>
        <keypress pressed="1">
            <stash varname="question1">1</stash>
        </keypress>
    </menu>
</dialplan>

The following is a dynamic example. The menu asks for an input and the system will store whatever the user enters into the "question2" variable. The variable is then used in a get node to report back to their server.

<dialplan name="Root">
    <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">${call.lastinput}</stash>
            <get>http://destination.com/test.php?name=${question2}&callerid=${call.callerid}</get>
        </keypress>
    </menu>
</dialplan>
