[asterisk-users] queue welcome message

[Martin Schrott - thinking:systems]

Hi all!

I would like to ask, how you realize the following in a call queue: 

When a caller gets into a queue how can I play a welcome Message to this caller first, before he starts hearing the music? 


We now use a playback before the caller gets into the queue. But when the queue is closed the caller heared already that somebody will pick up soon, but then gets into voicemail - because the queue has no members. 

So it would be great to let the queue welcome the caller at first and then start music. 
Is this possible? 

specifiing a queue-youarenext does only work when the caller is not the first in line. 
specifiing a periodic announce does play the message after the periodic-announce-frequency has been over. 

Is there also something else we can use? 

Thank you 
Martin
