Incoming Call announcement

Asterisk Asterisk Support

Does anyone know of a way to setup an incoming call announcement? For instance, if someone dials an extension, when the person answers the phone a pre recorded(wav/gsm/mp3) is played before the two people can speak. If you were to call extension 123, the person answering extension 123 would pick up the phone and hear “you have a call from…” Am I making any sense?

been done a couple of different ways - here is our production setup:

exten => 101,1,Macro(stdexten-announce,sip/101,101,15)

here are the two macros you would need (minus the custom sound files):

[macro-stdexten-announce]
exten => s,1,Playback(sayyourname)
exten => s,2,SetVar(CALLER_NAME=/tmp/${CALLERIDNUM}-${EPOCH})
exten => s,3,Record(${CALLER_NAME}.gsm|2|4)
exten => s,4,Dial(${ARG1}|${ARG3}|rtM(announce^${CALLER_NAME}))
exten => s,5,Voicemail(u${ARG2})
exten => s,6,Hangup
exten => s,105,Goto(5)
exten => h,1,System(/bin/rm -f ${ARG1}.gsm)
;
;
;
[macro-announce]
exten => s,1,Background(callfrom)
exten => s,2,Background(${ARG1})
exten => s,3,Read(ACCEPT|call-accept|1)
exten => s,4,Gotoif($[${ACCEPT} = 1] ?50) ;connect
exten => s,5,Gotoif($[${ACCEPT} = 2] ?30) ;reject to vm
exten => s,6,Gotoif($[${ACCEPT} = 3] ?30:30) ;any thing else vm
exten => s,30,SetVar(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE)
exten => s,31,Goto(50)
exten => s,50,System(/bin/rm -f ${ARG1}.gsm)
exten => h,1,System(/bin/rm -f ${ARG1}.gsm)

have fun.

What if I instead of playing a recorded name, I wanted to play a sound clip?

For help modifying the example dial plan for your needs, try taking a quick look at the two links in my signature. You’ll learn all you need to know. Search for “applications commands” in the Wiki.

here you go - just define the sound file you want played (i’m using company-prompt as an example) - when a caller hits this extension, the user will pick up the phone and hear the company name, along with an option to answer or discard the call.

[code][macro-stdexten-announce]
exten => s,1,Set(PROMPT=/var/lib/asterisk/sounds/company-prompt)
exten => s,n,Dial(${ARG1}|${ARG3}|rtM(announce^${PROMPT}))
exten => s,n,Voicemail(u${ARG2})
exten => s,n,Hangup
exten => s,103,Goto(3)
exten => h,1,System(/bin/rm -f ${ARG1}.gsm)

[macro-announce]
exten => s,1,Background(${ARG1})
exten => s,n,Read(ACCEPT|call-accept|1)
exten => s,n,Gotoif($[${ACCEPT} = 1] ?50) ;connect
exten => s,n,Gotoif($[${ACCEPT} = 2] ?30) ;reject to vm
exten => s,n,Gotoif($[${ACCEPT} = 3] ?30:30) ;any thing else vm
exten => s,30,SetVar(MACRO_RESULT=CONTINUE)
exten => s,31,Goto(50)
exten => s,50,System(/bin/rm -f ${ARG1}.gsm)
exten => h,1,System(/bin/rm -f ${ARG1}.gsm) [/code]

but gtcleaves is correct, you could easily modify this yourself if you read up on what the commands mean.
