RE: [Asterisk-Users] Telephone Tree

2003-06-12 Thread Adam Goryachev
 I'd like to use Asterisk to build a phonetree (www.phonetree.com) type
 of application, like this:

 1. Read a text-based name/phonenumber file.
 2. Call every number and play a recorded message.
 3. If a beep is detected, replay the message from scratch (to leave
 messages on an answering machine).
 4. Write results to a log file.

 Does anything like this exist already? Can this be done with Asterisk's
 script syntax?

I think the simple answer you are looking for is yes.

You might have some additional hurdles to overcome with technical queries if
you are using this for some sort of advertising broadcast medium due to
people on the list not liking that very much...

PS, AFAIK, number 3 wouldn't be supported yet... you would probably need to
tweak the DTMF detection routines to detect the beep as some sort of DTMF
and pass it into the AGI script which would react by re-starting the
playback.

Regards,
Adam

There are other uses. Here in the UK the police use
this sort of system (Ringmaster) to disseminate
information about criminal activity around neighbourhood
watch co-ordinators.

Their incessant complaint (the police, that is) is that
it's too expensive to roll out much beyond a trial system.
Driving the hardware cost down would just leave them
their revenue costs to whinge about.

I hope it's not one of those horrible automated marketing machines you are 
building...

Well, I guess you'd have to include a disclaimer not to use it for 
marketing or political purposes ;)

Perhaps an 'abuse' clause is needed.
