Can anyone suggest a good way to do the following;

 

1 - I want to be alerted [via the event API] to a new incoming  call.

2 - I do not want that incoming call to be answered but just stay ringing.

3 – Then via the API I want to send a redirect command to push the call off to a new destination of my choice, I do not want to use the answer/deflect sequence.

 

So far I’ve managed

1 -  I see on the incoming call on the event API

2 – I used sleep 180000 (3 mins)  see rule below.

3 – failed - because the rule is executing a sleep command and I cannot break in with my redirect.

 

<extension name="Trunk_Line1">

 <condition field="destination_number" expression="^012345$">

<action application="set" data="domain_name=x.x.x.x"/>

<action application="ring_ready" />

<action application="sleep" data="180000"/>

</condition>

</extension>

 

============

I have tested the following works as single DP rule.

 

Using the fixed dial plan rule below I do get the SIP signalling I want but of course it’s a redirect immediately and to a fixed destination.  The redirect causes FS to send a “302 moved temporarily”, and the move works.

 

<extension name="Trunk_Line1">

 <condition field="destination_number" expression="^012345$">

<action application="set" data="domain_name=x.x.x.x"/>

<action application="ring_ready" />

<action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_number= 00123456789"/>

<action application="set" data="effective_caller_id_name= fred"/>

<action application="redirect" data="sip:012345678901@${domain_name}"/>

</condition>

</extension>

 

=============

 

Any suggestions would be gratefully received
