[asterisk-users] Second Asterisk server SIP JOIN a call to conduct a post-call survey

[Jason N]

Unfortunately I am not allowed any changes to H's PBX / dialplan.    The restriction I have is that upon H's total disconnection from C, that S continues the call with C.  That's why I thought that if I could get S to SIP JOIN the call from C, that once H disconnects S can continue.   I can extract the SIP call info on H and pass that to S (so it can join the call). 

I'm just not sure if this concept is possible/practical.

It would be easiest for H to just Dial S after the first call leg is done. This can be done using the 'g' option to Dial[1] which continues dialplan application after the outgoing call leg hangs up. You could even send information as SIP headers if need be so S sees the info.
