[Freeswitch-users] Dial multiple users for "conference" call

I can't comment on Lua code as I am a total Lua newbie.

But I'm fearful that you are trying to complicate this where it is not
necessary. If your extensions are fixed or can be parsed from a list or
table, just assign each destination number to a channel variable and
reference each channel variable in the _outcall app line like this:

<action application="conference_set_auto_outcall" data="${destination1}"/>
<action application="conference_set_auto_outcall" data="${destination2}"/>
...

More at:
https://freeswitch.org/confluence/display/FREESWITCH/mod_conference#mod_conference-OutboundConference

If it's a variable quantity of destinations each time then you'll have to
script it, but if it's a fixed quantity of destinations with varying
numbers you can just use the channel variable approach, or just hard-code a
dialplan extension that matches one number or string and blasts the
auto_outcall to all those numbers and joins them to the conference as they
answer.

I'll be out of communications for a bit in transit, but if they are holding
the weekly conference call today at 13:00 ET you might strike gold there
after the formal presentation is over.

Success to you!

Bote
