You could use AsyncAGI to achieve this.
Originate the first call (passing in some unique identifier as a variable), then using AMI you will see the channel data. When you see an Event: AysncAGI for that channel (with that id, you have control of the call). Send a Dial Action telling it to dial the call and bridge them together if the person answers. If they don’t answer, you will be notified and can do something with the original call (play a message, hangup, etc). If they are bridged, you can see how long, etc. Setup an extension, naming it something like patching exten => patching,1,AGI(agi:async) Action: Originate Channel: Local/300@from-internal Async: 1 Exten: 1 Context: patching Data: 1973 Variable: YourUniquePatchID=1234 Using AsyncAGI and AMI, you can have full control of the call. You do have to setup a very simple dial plan so Asterisk knows you are using AsyncAGI to control the call. Have a great day!

What I want to do is: - dial call 1 (where the caller is in a "channel" format, like SIp/1234 or Local/1234@ext) and "park" it somehow - dial call 2 (where again the caller is in channel format) and join it to the previous call. As a requirement, I cannot use the dialplan as an end-point (as I cannot change it) but need to use the AMI only. I tried doing something like: Action: Originate Channel: Local/300@from-internal Async: 1 Application: Wait Data: 1973 So that the call goes to 300 and then basically stays there forever, and then I dial again: Action: Originate Channel: Local/500@from-internal Async: 1 Application: Wait Data: 1973 And then try to bridge the results, but it does not seem to work. What I would like to do would be more on the lines of: Originate call 1 and park it (using a park or waiting) Originate call 2 and bridge it immediately to call1 (using the Application part) But maybe I am missing something? is there anybody who has better suggestions?
