AGI(agi:async) is the correct invocation. AsyncAGI is still an AGI and behaves as such. The primary difference between the flavors of AGI is where the commands AGI executes come from. For AsyncAGI, the commands are passed to Asterisk with AMI actions. Command responses are passed back the same way. One thing to note is that the AGI AMI actions use CommandID instead of the normal ActionID. snip Is there anyway for me to make asynchronous AGIs work? I've tried searching online to no avail. The most definitive documentation is always the source code. :) For AGI this is in the res/res_agi.c file.
