[asterisk-users] understanding what h extension does
I am trying to make a dialplan that when I dial 90 I can go round a
whole set of extensions and leave them a short message, hangup and go
on the next one.
I use the M facility of dial, with something like this
[messages]
exten = 90,n(calcnextchan),Set(DIALCHAN=...)
exten = 90,n,Dial(${DIALCHAN},30,M(domessage))
exten = 90,n,Goto(calcnextchan)
[macro-domessage]
exten = s,1,Playback(message)
exten = s,n,Set(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE)
[There is actually more logic to check for busy dial channels and retry
them later]
This seems to work fine until one of the callees hangs up before the
message is played. at which point my call is terminated.
I was wondering if I should user the h extension here to pickup the
hungup call from the callee and continue. However I am worried that I
might end up looping if I hang up my end of the call - since I want it
to stop if I do that.
I can't find a definitive explanation of what causes the h extension to
be called. Can someone explain what what happen if I added something
like
exten = h,1,Goto(90,calcnextchan)
to the [messages] context

OK, its a logic problem. If the caller hangs up before playback is
complete MACRO_RESULT has not been set, so the call is bridged and then
hung up. If I set MACRO_RESULT as the first action of the call macro,
then any interruption from the far end hanging up means that the
dialplan just continues without the call having been bridged.
