[asterisk-dev] Need to run an AGI from dialplan only upon call hold

[uma udupi]

My requirement is NOT to play MOH, but play something else (that could be an IVR, asking for some input from the party being held). With AMI I don't know if I can achieve the same - It looks like musiconhold event is triggered upon starting the MOH, and also as an AMI will I have control over the media streams?

The problem then is what unhold means and how to explain to the phones (that are on hold state) what you want to do.

Confused by my mailer... Or just Friday morning lazyness. Sorry. Noticed that Matt has provided more or less the same answer.
