[Asterisk-Users] Park a call then hunt for a *willing* person
Dear All,
I like to implement something that does the following:
- a call comes in
- answered: "Please enter your code"
- caller types a number, eg. '123'
- caller hears: "we will try to connect you" followed by music.
- asterisk tries calling a series of predefined numbers, asking each
"will you accept a caller using code '123', press 1 for yes, 2
for no"
- when someone accepts, it connects the two callers.
Apart from the confirmation message, queueing does this (if I create once
queue per allowed 'code').
I have tried using parking, but it does not seem to be possible (at least
because we can't get the parked extension number for use in a dialplan).
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Philip Warner

Don't use it with queuing, use it with dial On 4/17/05, Philip Warner <pjw@rhyme.com.au> wrote:> At 04:19 PM 17/04/2005, C F wrote: > >Use the macro feature in dial (CVS-HEAD only, or apply the patch) > >documented here: > > I can't see a way to get Queue to use the macro; it has a limited number of > options available. > > I have tried using 'Local/z@y' as a queue member, but this seems to fork > off a call *and* continue with the call in the queue.
