Short question: how to get control or notification (gosub, macro, AGI) when a queue member's phone starts ringing due to an incoming call from the queue.

Backround: Our phone operators serve both an asterisk call queue and a queue for web chat support. I have a gosub on the queue that calls to our app server to mark the operator unavailable for web chat as soon as they answer an incoming queue call. Similarly, when a web chat is connected, it uses AMI to tell asterisk to take the operator out of the phone queue.

The other day, one operator got a web chat that came in while her phone was ringing with a queue call, so that neither "remove from queue" operation was effective in time. If I could get notification when the phone starts ringing I can reduce the window of opportunity for that by several seconds.

It's only happened once in 2 years that I know of, so may not be worth worrying about.
