I have a question that I’m hoping someone will be able to assist me with.
We have a requirement for an on call agent to receive a phone call from our Asterisk Phone System out side of office hours. When the agent receives the phone call we would like them to press 1 to confirm they have accepted the call. If the Engineer doesn’t answer we would like this to repeat the call after 5 minutes, if not answered x times to call a backup number. Is this something that is possible within the default Asterisk functions? If so does anyone have any examples of this?
If possible we would like to expand this to call numbers based on a Calendar, but this more looking toward future proofing the system.
Asterisk has the primitives that allow this to be done. It is well above the abstraction level at which Asterisk works, so there is no standard application that will do this.
