[Asterisk-Users] Time based call direction

[Benjamin Lawetz]

I had written a patch to add an "else" argument to gotoiftime (like the
"goto" command)

But the feedback was split on the need for this/the way to do it.

I just went through the same thing.

I settled on the GoToIfTime application.  One strange thing about GoToIfTime
is that it doesn't allow an "else" argument, so you'll need a sequence of
if's to get things done.

try something along these lines:

[yourcontext]
;lunchtime
exten => s,1,GoToIfTime(12:00-13:00?yourcontext|LUNCH|1)
;after work
exten => s,2,GoToIfTime(17:00-23:59?yourcontext|CLOSED|1)
;before work
exten => s,3,GoToIfTime(00:00-07:59?yourcontext|CLOSED|1)
;if we got this far, must be we're open
exten => s,4,GoTo(yourcontext|OPEN|1)

;;Handle lunchtime calls
exten => LUNCH,1,[do something]
exten => CLOSED,1,[do soemthing else]
exten => OPEN,1,[do yet another thing]
