Variable in SMS flow to insert dialed number?

[Jay Vance]

I want to create a flow which dials a number and provides the recipient with response options, one of which is to alert a third party that the recipient would like a call-back. Is it possible to insert a variable into an SMS flow which will insert the phone number which was dialed so the third party would know which number to call back? Thanks.

Mr. Vance.

The short answer is 'absolutely!'

Keep in mind that you get a limited number of characters in an SMS message.

Thanks,

Thanks. How exactly would I do this? I'm not sure how variables work in a flow.

You might try my Outbound Flow plugin (https://github.com/chadsmith/OpenVBX-Plugin-Outbound) if you haven't already. It let's you trigger a call or SMS from an incoming one and has an option to use the incoming number as a variable.

Good suggestion, Chad.
