<p dir="ltr">group_call returns a combined dial string that makes a call to its members. You can produce such a string yourself, and the end result will be the same. </p>
<p dir="ltr">So, if you have an external application that controls the dialplan, it can create such strings directly, without using the groups in the directory.<br><br></p>

<p dir="ltr">I am just reading through the FreeSWITCH 1.6 cookbook and I'm a little confused on calling multiple endpoints.</p>
<p dir="ltr">If I have an incoming call and I want to ring 3 extensions, is it better to bridge to a group or ring the multiple end points by specifying them individually?</p>
