Variable execute on preanswer
From FreeSWITCH Wiki
execute_on_preanswer
Execute an application (not an api) when the called party "preanswers" - that is, when some form of early media is coming or the far end sends a 180 Ringing.
The command is executed only on channels that are not already answered. Just use export or export with nolocal: prefix to make sure it is executed when b-leg answers.
In the second usage example below, we have originated an outbound call to a local extension, where we will wait 30 seconds without ignoring media. In this case we use 'set' and not 'export'.
Usage:
<action application="export" data="nolocal:execute_on_preanswer=lua incrInUse.lua ${uuid}"/>
or, to wait 30 seconds for an answer without ignoring early media
