Re: Trigger an action when B number answers the call

["Danny Nicholas" <danny@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

These may just be WAG’s, but they are worth a try.  Put exten => s,n,goto(wherever|s|1) at the end of the macro to make it go to the next live place.  As for starting the AGI when the caller answers, you can’t really do that;  you either have to start the AGI before answer or run it as a DeadAGI on hangup.

Subject: Trigger an action when B number answers the call

 

 

Hello,

 

 

I was trying to trigger an action (using AGI) when the recipient of a call (B number) answers his phone. (Actually the goal is to send a signal to an external server when the call starts )

 

 

I tried using M (macro call) in 'Dial' as follows :

 

exten => 1008,n,Dial(SIP/1008||L(40000:10000:5000)M(macroSendCallStart^${UNIQUEID}))

 

 

Then the macro calls the AGI :

 

[macro-macroSendCallStart]

exten => s,1,Verbose(macro-macroSendCallStart)
exten => s,n,Verbose(UNIQUEID ${UNIQUEID} )
exten => s,n,Verbose(ARG1 ${ARG1} )
exten => s,n,AGI(myAGI.agi,2,${ARG1},${CALLERID(num)},001)

 

The problem is that the macro is 'forked' (new UNIQUEID) and when it ends goes to _h_ extesion triggering unwanted actions..

 

 

Any idea about how to avoid going to _h_ extension when a macro ends?

Any other idea about how to trigger an AGI call when B number answers?

 

Regards,

 

Sel
