Rusty Newton commented on ASTERISK-24372:
-----------------------------------------

Looks like a useful option.

Be sure this works with Trunk and note that adding configuration options requires documentation of the options as well. In this case, for {{configs/followme.conf.sample}}.

Then you can follow the [Code Review|https://wiki.asterisk.org/wiki/display/AST/Code+Review] process and get them on Reviewboard for others to review and test.

Thanks!

> This patch adds the ability to configure a prompt which will be read to the "winner" who pressed 1 (or the configured value) and received the call.
> The context of this is that I have users who only receive outbound follow-me calls occasionally. These users have complained that when they are connected to the inbound caller, they don't always remember to say hello as if the call just arrived, so there is an awkward moment where the two parties figure out they are connected.
> My prompt here says "Connecting. After the beep, please say hello to the caller. <beep>." This reminds the follow-me winner that they ought to say hello.
> I have configured this with a default of silence/0 so that the system's behavior will not change for anyone who does not have this configured.
