asterisk users - May 2007 - Call someone to instantly join conference using MeetMe

Hi,

I was just wondering how would the application be where the Asterisk calls a
number and that number joins the conference as soon as the call connects.
There would be only one conference already defined in meetme.conf and there
is one person already joined the conference. Currently MeetMe requires a
person dialing into it and the joining the conference. How could this be
done using MeetMe or any other conference application? Any
suggestions/hints/links are welcome.

Thanks

Regards

Set up an extension that dials directly into the conference in question,
then use that extension via the Local channel as the source of a call to
the number you want to dial, triggered via the Management API or a call
file.

[meetme-dialin]
exten => 1234,1,Answer()
exten => 1234,n,MeetMe(4321)

Pipe the following into the Manager API with an extra blank line at the end:

Action: Originate
Channel: Local/1234@meetme-dialin
Context: from-inside (or whatever context is appropriate)
Exten: (the number you want to call)
Priority: 1

I'm going from memory, so you may have to play with it a little bit but
that's the basic idea.
