[Asterisk-Users] Commands possible in the h extension, message delivery with confirmation
Hi, I've been using Asterisk for several months now with great success. I'm working on a system that tries to deliver a recorded message to a user, as follows: 1. a call file is placed in /var/lib/asterisk/outgoingcalls 2. This triggers a call to be placed 3. When answered, the caller hears the recorded message 4. After the message, the caller must confirm by pressing 1 5. If they confirm, the process ends 6. If they just hang up, wait 7. After waiting, dial them again and go to step 3 above The idea is that the system persists in trying to deliver the message, not quitting until they press '1' on their keypad after hearing the recorded message. I plan to extend this to try several different users in rotation until confirmation is received. I need to re-dial the user if they hang up, or time out, or are busy. For hang-up, I have tried using the h extension, like this: h,1,Dial(local/201) To test re-dialling on hangup. However, the dial takes place too soon after the previous call, resulting in an error from the target phone. When I change it to: h,1,Wait(3) h,2,Dial(local/201) This gets no further than the Wait command, and * never executes the Dial command. Can this be made to work reliably? Or should I write some sort of AGI script to provide a reliable message delivery application to do this instead? I'm using Asterisk 1.2.4 on Centos 4.
