Subject: [asterisk-users] call extension play sound file then connect
caller
I am trying to setup a context to take a inbound call, hold the call,
connect to
an external number, play a sound file to the external number, then
connect
the inbound caller to the external number.
My thought was to accept the call and place them in a parking lot. Then
call
the external number, play the sound file and connect the inbound caller
to
the external number.
Is this even possible and if so, is this the best approach?
Thank you in advance.
You might look into FollowMe, especially if you want the external number
to have a choice of whether or not to accept the call.
A very high level overview is here:
http://answers.oreilly.com/topic/2705-asterisk-how-to-use-followme-to-call-a-series-of-phone-numbers/
(though that gave me enough to get started)
Thanks for the reply. I tried using FollowMe as it seemed like the perfect
solution, however I was unable to play the sound file then connect the
caller. I would like to bypass the need to press the 1 to accept the call.
Thanks Again!
