[asterisk-users] PhpAgi call generation

[Rob Schall]

Since its all part of a program.... I would do it using the AGI like
Christopher was talking about. However, I think this would be a 2
program issue. First, you would have a program that would check a
database or whatever to see who is late and make the call to the
supervisior. That call I would think would point to a IVR extension of
some type, which gives the "1" option to call that employee. If they do
press one, it would run a different program to generate that call.

I might be making it more complicated than needed with 2 programs, but
that's how I see it working.
