             Summary: Patch to play a prompt to the "winner" in app_followme
                 Key: ASTERISK-24372
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-24372
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: None
          Components: Applications/app_followme
    Affects Versions: 13.0.0-beta2
            Reporter: Graham Mainwaring
            Severity: Minor
         Attachments: app_followme.patch

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.
