[asterisk-users] Asterisk Manager Interface: Auto-answer of'Originate' command

[Steve Davies]

How about:

Action: originate
Channel: Local/1234 at indirect
etc

Then in extensions.conf

[indirect]
exten => _X.,1,NoOp("Click to Call")
exten => _X.,n,SetVar(_ALERT_INFO=info=alert-autoanswer)
exten => _X.,n,Goto(from-internal,${EXTEN},1)

Get the idea? Does that help?

Cheers,
Steve
