asterisk is concerned. You need to use two end user APIs provided by
asterisk, AGI and AMI. Once you notice a pending announcement request in
your web application, you need to make outbound calls to appropriate
employees using 'Originate' command of AMI and connect them the the IVR
written in AGI, playout the file using GET DATA command of AGI and record
whatever the choice returned by that command.
