If you initiate an Originate and specify an outbound carrier/channel/technology as the 'Channel', the execution will be punted into the Exten, Priority and Context you specify when the call is answered on the far-end -- e.g. a SIP 200 OK.
For example, here's how I Rickroll people: Action: Originate Channel: SIP/5551...@my_termination_carrier Context: rickroll Exten: 1 Priority: 1 Callerid: xxxxxxxxxx Timeout: 30000 [rickroll] exten => 1,1,Wait(1) exten => 1,n,Playback(never-gonna-give-you-up) exten => 1,n,Hangup Their phone rings, they pick up, and about a second later, Rick croons at them. -- Alex Mueller, Alexander wrote: > Hello, I try to initiate an outbound call via "ORIGINATE" (AMI interface), > and I need to bring the phone that calls outbound to auto-answer, so that the > user just has to press a button on the computer, not on the phone. > > Problem: I have no chance to do anything inside the dialplan, the call is > initiated without jumping into the dialplan as far as I can see in the logs. > So for example "SIPAddHeader(Call-Info: answer-after=0)", which works perfect > for Redirected calls, doesn't work.
