But your experience as described directly contradicts that assertion.
My statement that 'h' is only called at the end of a successful call was
not accurate. It depends how the dialplan is written. The actual condition
is this:
When a channel is hung up, IF and ONLY IF that channel is executing in
the dial plan, the 'h' extension is called in whatever context that
channel is in currently.

That is why you are not executing the 'h' extension. You are placing
the call directly to a channel. That channel does not start executing
the dial plan until it is answered. In that respect, my original
statement was correct. Because it only starts the dialplan when the
call is successfully answered, there is no context in which to execute
an 'h' extension on a failed call.
You might find it useful to use a Local channel. Instead of doing this:
Channel: Zap/g1/123456789
Context: mycontext
Extension: s
Priority: 1
Try doing this:
Channel: Local/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Context: mycontext
Extension: s
Priority: 1
(replace "mycontext" and "s" with whatever you are using currently)
And in extensions.conf:
[outgoing]
exten => _X.,1,Dial(Zap/g1/${EXTEN})
exten =>
_X.,n,NoOp(${EXTEN}:DIALSTATUS=${DIALSTATUS};HANGUPCAUSE=${HANGUPCAUSE})
exten => h,n,NoOp(${EXTEN}:DIALSTATUS=${DIALSTATUS};HANGUPCAUSE=${HANGUPCAUSE})
In that case you should find the 'h' in [outgoing] gets executed on both
successful
and failed calls.
(Replace "Zap/g1" with whatever channel technology you are using)
