Yes why not, <div>I made an aut-odialer (the code I can share on my blogpost in couple of days for you.) The basic structure of the script/code was to:<div><br></div><div>1- Start, connect to DB, fetch campaign data</div><div>
2- Fetch numbers to dial from campaign, If no numbers goto step 6</div><div>3- Feed those number in a loop to AMI using a php-AMI helper script (Async Event, don't wait for reply from Asterisk)</div><div>4- Check asterisk if its dialing capacity has reached or not</div>
<div>5a- If Not, goto step 2</div><div>5b- If Yes, wait for sometime for calls to finish, goto step 4</div><div>6- Close DB,Stop</div><div><br></div><div>So, I had a context that was connecting to MySQL and on each incoming call trigger it was pushed with primary keys/identifiers of campaign and callednumber. Using those I updated the CDRs/STATUS of that particular number if it failed or successfully answered.</div>
<div><br></div><div>That was all. Obviously there are major advanced features in this script which are missing and need time and proper coding expertise to develop..i.e multi-campaign mode, aggressiveness of dialer, retrying of failed numbers etc.</div>

</div>The way to call 5000 numbers is to call one number, really well. Then<br>
you put it in a loop. You need to run a lab for long enough that you<br>
have the bugs worked out, before you subject real people to problems.<br>
<br>
With asterisk you can always tell the real-time status of a call, even<br>
if you initiate from a call file. Perhaps you would enjoy reading up<br>
on Local channels. Some people prefer to initiate calls from AMI. I<br>
tried it and didn't like it.<br>
<br>
But because most of us have been annoyed by an autodialer in our<br>
lives, even if we ourselves have made autodialers in the past, this is<br>
probably about the limit of the help you're going to get, unless you<br>
ask a more specific question that shows you've been trying to learn<br>
this hands-on and you've gotten stuck on a particular problem.<br>
