[Asterisk-Users] Asterisk as a phone survey system

[TV JOE]

 I write perl applications for a living and have developed code to 
 talk to all kinds of hardware. What I'd like to do is pull a list of 
 phone numbers from sql via dbi and call each. An initial voice 
 messsage would be played asking the recipient if they'd 
 optionally like to fill out our survey. If so I'd like to on the
 fly play pre-recorded questions and record the touch tone 
 response back into the database. Teleyapper looks like it
 does some of what I want but I'm not sure slicing it up is 
 better than starting from scratch. There appear to be a few
 CPAN modules to work with Asterisk. I'm looking for advice
 on how hard this is to implement with  Asterisk. TIA, TV JOE

Also, being a toolkit means there are a  number of ways to accomplish it. You could right PERL, Python, TCL, C, PHP or  numerous other types of scripts that can manage this for you. To see how to do  some of the basic functions, you can look at some of the scripts at Nerd Vittles  (http://nerdvittles.com). Things like the  TeleYapper will give you a basis to work from.

 Hi,

 I'm interested in developing an    automated phone survey and am curious 
 if Asterisk could be    configured to run such a system.. My idea is to 
 record a message and    a series of sub-questions. The system would 
 call each number on a    list and play the message, Depending on the
 touch tone response    another message would be played. Is it possible 
 for asterisk to    manage a survey like this? If so can the responses from 
 the    listeners be recorded. If someone else has done this I'd be    interested
 in details.

 TIA , TV JOE
