I was wanting to automate entirely a blind transfer. We are not yet using a powerdialler, so when we hit an answermachine we have to manually leave a message.

In order to make this a little quicker, I want to leave a standard message on the answermachine.

attempt #1. Use the blind transfer feature.
set blind transfer to be "**".
extension 22 is exten 22 => Goto (leavemessage,answermachine,1)

during the call, agent presses "**". Asterisk says "transfer". Agent enters "22#". Call is transferred to extension 22. A Standard Message is left.

cool.

Agents say "We always have to xfer to extension 22. Can't you automate that?"

attempt #2. Use the features application map

doxfer => **,caller,goto,leavemessage|answermachine|1

during the call, agent presses "**". CLI says

  Feature Found: doxfer exten: answermachine
    -- Goto (leavemessage,answermachine,1)

but nothing happens. I've tried it with **,callee as well.

Anyone been able to automate this type of thing ?

Julian
