Question

I’m writing a robocaller for a company on a server which also has incoming calls. I have an AMI poll set up that will make sure there is a certain number of available channels before it pushes a call file through, but I don’t know which specific channels will be open. Since I can’t be sure at the time of generating my .call files which channels will be open, is there a way to automatically assign free channels to a call the way incoming/transferred/bridged channels are automatically assigned, or is this only possible within the dial plan? If it is possible outside of the dial plan, what would you recommend?

Answer 1

It is only possible with dialplan, you need in case of any call initiated check if src/dst channel is reserved by robocaller. There is also another way: listen AMI events, check for new channels, in case of reserved channel usage – send Hangup for this channel.
