You may prefer to instead do your AGI stuff in your regular dialplan,
and have your callfile kick off a call to a local channel which will
then call your dialplan and AGI stuff. Working with call files is
great for simpler things, and I feel like complex things should go in
the dialplan because regular dialplan is so easy to debug. If you when
you get things working correctly then consider putting it back into a
callfile if it would be better that way.
