[asterisk-users] Asterisk Manager Interface: Auto-answer of 'Originate' command

[Steve Langstaff]

Does anyone know of a way to make an originate request coming over the
management interface (e.g. AstTapi click-to-dial) include the relevant
Alert-Info SIP headers to enable the originating phone to auto-answer?

I've tried setting up a custom context (see below), but the dial plan is
only entered AFTER the originating call is answered, so the SIP header
is added to the terminating call leg, not the originating call leg.

[click-to-call-custom]
exten => _X.,1,NoOp("Click to Call") 
exten => _X.,2,SetVar(_ALERT_INFO=info=alert-autoanswer) 
exten => _X.,3,Goto(from-internal,${EXTEN},1)
