[Asterisk-Users] Dialer

[Kerry Garrison]

You actually aren't far from it. If the system only needs to play the same
file to each person, a simple script can be used to pull from a database and
create call files. Asterisk will use the call files to place the calls and
play a sound. A few minutes of searching on that should get you started. I
haven't seen anyone else have a canned script ready to go, but would like to
know if anyone does.

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Dialer



Hello All, 

I am having trouble finding a specific * piece of software so I thought I
would see If you guys can help me get my terminology clear.

First off let me premise this with "no, this is absolutely not for doing
call marketing". 
I need to make my Asterisk box call a group of people and play them a
message. 
My company deals with education so we need to do follow ups if students are
not logging on. 
We do this manually now but it would be easier and cheaper to just play them
a message. 

What is the term I should be looking for?  I keep thinking "auto dialer" or
something like that but I am not quite getting there.

Any help would be appreciated.  I have been learning a bit of Perl so I was
thinking I could auto generate and AGI file and then just do a Play() of the
mp3 when they pick up at the other end?  Seems a little kludge though.


Thanks,
Wiley
