Discussion: Asterisk cmd ParkAndAnnounce

Duplicate, feel free to delete.

Hi all,

I'm literally just starting out in Asterisk, with a view to deploying it "for real". I'm not satisfied that Asterix can do as I request though. I've done *a lot* of reading around over the last few days, so please don't think I've not tried to RTFM first!

What I'd like is...

1. Somebody calls up, they get "parked"
2. I then get called and get the announcement
3. I can press #1 to answer, or #2 to send them to my voicemail

I simply can't figure out if this is possible... I can obviously Park&Announce a call, but then need to hangup in order to retrieve the call (generally sat on #701) - a nod in the right direction would be seriously appreciated.

Cheers, P.

In the dial plan it seems OK to have it like -> context,exten, prio

But from an agi exec command it seems to only accept -> context|exten|prio

From the source also, the return_context seems "pipe" separated :

---

working = return_context;
context = strsep(&working, "|");
exten = strsep(&working, "|");
if(!exten) {
/* Only a priority in this one */
priority = context;

---

the return context is either :
context|exten|prio
exten|prio
prio
