Caller ID Superfecta

Could the same thing not be done with the code as it is?
I would like to understand better how stripping the returned data and leaving only the SPAM signifier word makes it easier to do what you want to do (route telemarketers to the appropriate destination (hangup)) -

I too have wanted more than just a prepended SPAM notification out of the spam rejection scoring - Id really like to know what your thinking.

For incoming routes, FreePBX only allows the following keywords (blocked, anonymous, restricted, unknown, unavailable, private) in the CID box. Superfecta prefixes spam/telemarketer calls with whatever we want.

If Superfecta could label a spam/telemarketer call with just what we place in the SPAM Text box (any matching FreePBX CID keyword) and not just prefix it to the delivered number and looked-up name result. We could, in theory, route the call to hangup.

How I think it works is as follows:
Call comes in.
CID Superfecta processes the CID, positive spam call, strips the number and just sends a FreePBX CID keyword.
Inbound route is selected based on the DID and/or CID setting in FreePBX (CID the important variable).
Inbound route sees call with matching keyword and processes it accordingly (hangup).

If there is another way to do this with Superfecta in its current release, I apologize for the noise.

HAT - thanks for the great complete response. You always help so much when we ask for clarification and feedback.

Would a check mark box option in the SPAM scoring sources like "Strip/Substitute" enable/disable be good enough?
If this can be done in the data source alone - it might not be too tuff. But SPAM scoring is also sort of integrated globally in the module - this could be harder as we don't have any core module updates planned at this time.

Developers - can you envision a way to deploy HATs suggestion? I think it would add a lot to the value.

Thanks Tony. A strip/substitute check box would be perfect.

I do not know/fully understand how the inner workings of Superfecta operate. So..fwiw, I would guess that this feature would not be about spam scoring as much as it would be about what to do after a positive spam score is returned.

As far as core updates go, this feature could wait. It is more of a "nice to have."

I went ahead and implemented the requested feature, but I'm not sure you'll be able to accomplish selecting an inbound route based on the CID because I believe that CID Superfecta is run by the inbound route after it has already been selected.

Never the less, the feature has been implemented and needs to be tested.

Well, the new feature works, i.e. CIDname is completely replaced with the chosen keyword and no log errors. However, the CIDnumber still passes through. Can this feature be tweaked to delete the incoming number as well and just send the chosen keyword in place of the number? Considering what Jeremy said about the incoming call process this may not work at all like I had hoped. Hmmm, methinks I may need to spend some time on the freepbx site to get a better handle on incoming call handling.

QS: Pass, although it does not do what the requestor desired - due to FreePBX call flow. I suggest this feature be left available - although Im not personally sure what people will do with it.
