You need to understand first how a call file works.

Syntax of call files

  • Specify where and how to call

    • Channel: : Channel to use for the call.
    • CallerID: “name” Caller ID, Please note: It may not work if you do not respect the format: CallerID: “Some Name” <1234>
    • MaxRetries: Number of retries before failing (not including the initial attempt, e.g. 0 = total of 1 attempt to make the call). Default is 0.
    • RetryTime: Seconds between retries, Don’t hammer an unavailable phone. Default is 300 (5 min).
    • WaitTime: Seconds to wait for an answer. Default is 45.
    • Account: Set the account code to use.

  • If the call answers, connect it here:

    • Context: Context in extensions.conf
    • Extension: Extension definition in extensions.conf
    • Priority: Priority of extension to start with
    • Set: Set a variable for use in the extension logic (example: file1=/tmp/to ); in Asterisk 1.0.x use ‘SetVar’ instead of ‘Set’
    • Application: Asterisk Application to run (use instead of specifiying context, extension and priority)
    • Data: The options to be passed to application
    • Set: Can now also write to dialplan functions like CDR()
    • AlwaysDelete: Yes/No - If the file’s modification time is in the future, the call file will not be deleted
    • Archive: Yes/No - Move to subdir “outgoing_done” with “Status: value”, where value can be Completed, Expired or Failed.
