Dialling the extension while playback is happening

Hello,

Can we dial the extension while playback is happening ? As soon as we dial the extension then control goes to that extension.

Regards

What dialplan are you using?

In general, it is not a good idea to continue playback whilst digits are being entered as echoes of the playback can jam the DTMF.

Asterisk doesn’t come with any production dialplans.

Hi,

We have made our own dialplan. Probably I haven’t understood your question.

You need to tell us the contents of your dialplan.

exten => 0,n,WaitExten()

“as soon as…” is the desired behaviour, not the actual behaviour. I thought you were complaining that it didn’t complete the full message before the GoTo.

You want the Background application.

Note you can use & between file names.
