[asterisk-users] asterisk ivr

[Philipp Ott]

Hello!

We would like to receive a SIP call and keep the caller waiting 
listening to some music other sound. A secondary intelligence decides 
whom to connect to and creates an outbound SIP call and when it is 
ringing there, or after the recipient answered the call, and maybe after 
listening to some small IVR joins the waiting caller, thus cancelling 
the music.

Although the DIAL command offers many many options and we can put all 
the intelligence of whom to connect to whom there (or in scripts) we 
have the problem that the music always starts from the beginning when a 
new DIAL is started. This isnt an elegant solution. So the idea we got 
was to keep the caller in a meetme conference of 2 people. But how then 
can we force asterisk to dial out (most likely a secondary asterisk 
invocation with a rx command), make it go through some minimal 
context/dialplan upon answering, and eventually connect the called 
person to the meetme conference of the incoming call? Naturally, all 
this without any pin-codes or such.

Did anybody have this problem already and maybe even found a solution 
for it?

Thank you
Regards
Philipp
