This depends on your application. As you say you are able to do everything you require in dialplan at that is great. I have used AGI fairly extensively becuase the stuff I want to do can't be done in dialplan alone. For instance i have written a auto attendants that can be dynamically controlled by a non-techie user with real time and in call reconfiguration. Also i have written IVR apps that hook into our CRM and Accounting systems for fault reporting and credit card payments etc.
What you need is the tool for the job like everything in life :-) Jon Farmer Telford, Shropshire, UK ----- Original Message ---- From: Gordon Henderson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Asterisk Users Mailing List - Non-Commercial Discussion <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, 31 January, 2007 12:20:11 AM Subject: [asterisk-users] Dialplan programming vs. AGI vs. ??? Just a general question on dialplan programming... I've implemented a fairly full-featured system using dialplan code only. I've not used any AGI for it, yet it ticks all the boxes I want it to tick (diverts, follow-me, voicemail, dnd, outdialing restrictions, simple auto-attendant, and numerous "star codes" to control it all) This is all aimed at the small/medium office PBX type application. But I'm curious as to the approach others use. Is doing dialplan coding in an AGI more efficient, or do people just do it that way because it's easier than learning dialplan code? Or are there some things that people think they can't do any other way? So I'm just after some ideas, really, possibly to work out if it's worth my while going down the AGI route for future projects, or not!?! Any feedback is most welcome!
