"Asterisk Auto-dial out" and think I may be able to muddle my way
through getting that working (although that may be questionable) but is
it feasable to integrate this wit a website, where a user enters a phone
number in a form, then asterisk somehow gets this information from the
website and it gets added to a database or some way for Asterisk to
gather that information and make the phone calls automatically? Maybe
with another option on what type of notification it would be (furnace
filter, 1 month reminder, 2 month reminder) based on a variable in the
form?
The callout in the wiki blows goatass -- at least the voicemail one -- I have
a cron script which looks for messages in the watched "INBOX" folders and
generates a callout every 5 minutes until the message is listened to (at
which time it is moved to the Old folder).
As far as integrating with a website or database -- that is a piece of cake.
Your backend logic just determines when a call is needed and gerates the
approprate .call file. Just remember to create it in /tmp or something,
close it and then MOVE it to the outgoing spool instead of creating and
working on it in the outgoing spool.
-A.
OK - I've made some progress. I was able to use the wiki page "Asterisk auto-dail out deliver message" to record the messages, successfully.
Now, I can't figure out this auto-dial thing. Nothing happens when I move the call file to the /outgoing/ directory
I have a file made in /var/spool/asterisk/tmp01 called 1.call. Here it is: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Channel: ZAP/go/9337367 Callerid: 9524458585 MaxRetries: 5 RetryTimie: 300 WaitTime: 45 Context: outboundmsg1 Extension: s Priority: 1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
I copy it to /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and it magically disappears (or does not appear?) in /var/spool/asterisk and nothing happens. I have another CLI window to asterisk and nothing passes by - just dead.
Now, I'm using AMP, if that matters.
I've added the following to extensions.conf: ------------------------------------------------------------------- [record-outboundmsgs] ; Record voice files ; ; Before using this the first time ; mkdir /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/outboundmsgs ; chown asterisk_user:asterisk_user /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/outboundmsgs ; (Where asterisk_user = the user that asterisk runs under: = root for many installations) ; ; In a context for incoming calls put something like ; include => record-outboundmsgs ; ; Then call ; 2051 to Record a new outbound msg1 ; 2052 to Record a new outbound msg2 ; ; 2061 to Record the msg played when the recipient acks the message ; 2062 to Record the "How to ACK message" ; ; After dialing one of the extensions above: ; Wait for the record start tone ; Record your message ; Press # to stop recording ; Listen to an automatic playback of your new message ; ; outbound msg1 exten => 2051,1,Wait(2) exten => 2051,2,Record(outboundmsgs/msg1:gsm) exten => 2051,3,Wait(2) exten => 2051,4,Playback(outboundmsgs/msg1) exten => 2051,5,wait(2) exten => 2051,6,Hangup ; ; outbound msg2 exten => 2052,1,Wait(2) exten => 2052,2,Record(outboundmsgs/msg2:gsm) exten => 2052,3,Wait(2) exten => 2052,4,Playback(outboundmsgs/msg2) exten => 2052,5,wait(2) exten => 2052,6,Hangup ; ; ; Msg played when msg is acked exten => 2061,1,Wait(2) exten => 2061,2,Record(outboundmsgs/thankyou:gsm) exten => 2061,3,Wait(2) exten => 2061,4,Playback(outboundmsgs/thankyou) exten => 2061,5,wait(2) exten => 2061,6,Hangup ; ; Msg played after outbound msg: "Press 1 to replay or 2 to acknowledge receiving this message" exten => 2062,1,Wait(2) exten => 2062,2,Record(outboundmsgs/how_to_ack:gsm) exten => 2062,3,Wait(2) exten => 2062,4,Playback(outboundmsgs/how_to_ack) exten => 2062,5,wait(2) exten => 2062,6,Hangup --------------------------------------------------------------
Which is working correctly. I can see that I've recorded and saved the above files in the correct places.
In extensions.conf, I added this line: ------------------------------------------------------------ include extensions_callout.conf ------------------------------------------------------------- Because I thought that may survive an AMP reload?
Then I created another .conf file, called extensions_callout.conf as shown: --------------------------------------------------------------- [outboundmsg1] exten => s,1,DigitTimeout,5 exten => s,2,ResponseTimeout,10 exten => s,3,Answer exten => s,4,Wait(1) exten => s,5,Background(outboundmsgs/msg1) exten => s,6,Background(outboundmsgs/how_to_ack) exten => 1,1Goto(s,5) exten => 2,1,Goto(msgack,s,1) exten => t,1,Playback(vm-goodbye) exten => t,2,Hangup
[msgack] exten => s,1,Playback(outboundmsgs/thankyou) exten => s,2,Playback(vm-goodbye)
[record-outboundmsgs] ;Before using this the first time ; mkdir /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/outboundmsgs ; chown asterisk_user:asterisk_user /var/lib/asterisk/sounds/outboundmsgs ;In a context for incoming calls, put something like ; include => record-outboundmsgs ; Then call ; 2051 to Record a new outbound msg1 ; 2052 to Record a new outbound msg2 ; 2061 to Record the msg played when the recipient acs the message ; 2062 to Record the "How to ACK message" ; ; After dialing one of the extensions above: ; Wait for the record start tone ; Record your message ; Press # to stop recording ; Listen to an automatic playback of your new messsage ; ; outbound msg1 exten => 2051,1,Wait(2) exten => 2051,2,Record(outboundmsgs/msg1:gsm) exten => 2051,3,Wait(2) exten => 2051,4,Playbacak(outboundmsgs/msg1) exten => 2051,5,Wait(2) exten => 2051,6,Hangup ; ; ; Msg played when msg is acked exten => 2061,1,Wait(2) exten => 2061,2,Record(outboundmsgs/thankyou:gsm) exten => 2061,3,Wait(2) exten => 2061,4,Playback(outboundmsgs/thankyou) exten => 2061,5,Wait(2) exten => 2061,6,Hangup ; ; ; Msg played after outbound msg: Press 1 to replay or 2 to acknowledge exten => 2062,1,Wait(2) exten => 2062,2,Record(outboundmsgs/how_to_ack:gsm) exten => 2062,3,Wait(2) exten => 2062,4,Playback(outboundmsgs/how_to_ack) exten => 2062,5,Wait(2) exten => 2062,6,Hangup ; ; -------------------------------------------------------------------- Am I way off base here? I'm new to asterisk and definately over my head.
Help?
I can supply more information as needed.
