That's about as simple as it gets.
A call file that goes to the dialplan.
A dialplan that consists of Read (which would play the message)
followed a GotoIf into a mailbox (either voicemail or Dial() to an
external number).
One hint for doing unattended dialing like this, make sure you're
dialing using a SIP or other digital method rather than, say, out an
analogue port that doesn't have decent answer detect.
And you can't just dump a whole bunch of call files into the system
at once, you'll need to meter them out based on the number of
concurrent outbound calls your provider will allow.
Hello James,
Good to see you here, and thank you very much. Though my basic idea of
how it will look using call files and dialplan is like what you and
others on here have pointed out. Yes,
we are using SIP for both origination and termination (just helping my
friend use some of our accounts used for PBX, and prepaid). I have been
using * for many years now however,
never for call center/predictive dialer type processes. Once I have got
this thing to call out and get calls coming in. It would be nice to
write to a database all the users that press
option on. I have a strong Java, PHP and SQL background. Will probably
need to make a call using AGI or such?
N.
You can go AGI, but there are direct ODBC handles available in the
dialplan if you build Asterisk properly with the ODBC resources enabled.
That'd my personal preference from a performance standpoint.
