[asterisk-users] Run AGI while agent ringing instead of only when connected

Wed Apr 11 00:20:30 CDT 2012

I would implement it in a different way.
As you seem to be a seasoned player just a hint here.
How about adding local channels as queue members and executing agi in local
channel context before actual dial()?
Only limitation is, AGI will get executed for each dial irrespective of
whether an extension rings or not. But at least you can identify which
extension is being dialed.
See 'Using Local Channels' on
