I'd like to programmatically do the equivalent of a *8 using either the Manager or AGI interfaces or some other Asterisk interface.
In this scenario, a line is ringing, the "pickup" program executes with an argument that is the extension to connect the incoming call to. That extension starts to ring and, when answered, the incoming call is automatically connected to the extension.
As I understand it the "Redirect" only work on calls that are already connected (not ringing). Can I use the "Answer" command in the AGI to answer the incoming call and the "Redirect" to connect them together in some creative way to do this?
Or am I missing some much easier way?
Thanks!
