[asterisk-users] [HELP]: Auto-answering calls placed from call files

[Ioan Indreias]

Hello Steve,

Have you tried to send the automated call to your dialplan instead of the
phone?

For example, instead of calling SIP/aastra_phone call
Local/aastra_phone at auto-answer-context and tweak auto-answer-context from
your dialplan as needed.

HTH,
Ioan
