How did you get the multi-line description in the notification to work?
I tried inserting \n, but it doesn't work.

To stay off-topic with Asterisk, do you know what would I need to do to
run the script only when a certain extension rings? I'm running FreePBX,
so I'm not really familiar with the dialing plan syntax. What I have at
the moment is this in my extensions_custom.conf

> [from-pstn-custom]
> exten => _X.,1,System(/usr/local/bin/incoming_call.sh "${CALLERID(name)}" ${CALLERID(num)} &)

and it works for all incoming calls. I guess I need to change the
context and replace _X. with the extension. But what would be the right
context?

Thanks
