[asterisk-users] queue welcome message
Hi all! I would like to ask, how you realize the following in a call queue: When a caller gets into a queue how can I play a welcome Message to this caller first, before he starts hearing the music? We now use a playback before the caller gets into the queue. But when the queue is closed the caller heared already that somebody will pick up soon, but then gets into voicemail - because the queue has no members. So it would be great to let the queue welcome the caller at first and then start music. Is this possible? specifiing a queue-youarenext does only work when the caller is not the first in line. specifiing a periodic announce does play the message after the periodic-announce-frequency has been over. Is there also something else we can use? Thank you Martin -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

the only suggestion i would have for you is to use a SINGLE file for your MOH .. and you record the welcoming note in the begining of the file.. so whenever a caller comes in .. they will hear the MOH .. which has the welcoming note before the music starts... i know it's a stupid trick but it does the work for your needs...
