With features.conf, you could then specify :<br>- how lo launch an attended

<br>Also, calling just one macro for all features seems a bit restricted. Why not allow the features.conf<br>to specify which macro/gosub to call, for each feature? Dial is already overloaded with options,<br>anything that could be offloaded would probably be desirable. Plus, calls that were not initiated by<br>
a dialplan "Dial()" invocation might not be able to provide that option.<br><br>Another question: what do you need this functionality to *do*? It could be that there is an already <br>existing functionality that you could exploit to get the same results?<br>

<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Hi,<br>
<br>
How can you add specific statements into Asterisk dialplan (extension.ael, ...)
for attented transfers ?<br>
<br>
I can see Asterisk sending Transfer or Masquerade events through AMI (in 1.6.1)
but I could use an external program to catch those events but I would prefer to
use dialplan instead.<br>
<br>
Any idea ?<br>
<br>
Regards</span></font></p>
