<p>Each priority in the dialplan calls an application. An application does some work on the channel, such as answering a call or playing back a sound prompt. There are a wide variety of dialplan applications available for your use. For a complete list of the dialplan applications available to your installation of Asterisk, type <b>core show applications</b> at the Asterisk CLI.</p>
<p>Most applications take one or more parameters, which provide additional information to the application or change its behavior. Parameters should be separated by commas.</p>
