How to create Asterisk .call file ( how to automatically generate calls in asterisk)<\/div>\n
\n

Asterisk Call Files<\/h1>\n
Asterisk call files are structured files which, when moved to the appropriate directory, are able to automatically place calls using Asterisk. Call files are a great way place calls automatically without using more complex Asterisk features like the AGI, AMI, and dialplan, and require very little technical knowledge to use.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Call files are like a shell script for Asterisk. A user or application writes a call file into \/var\/spool\/asterisk\/outgoing\/ where Asterisk processes it immediately<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Asterisk .call demonstration<\/u><\/i><\/b><\/div>\n
Let’s demonstrate the .call file principle with an example. Assume that we have a SIP phone registered with the number 1000 in Asterisk. In addition, we have the following dialplan in extensions.conf :<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

\n
[voicebroadcast]\r\nexten => 777,1,Answer()\r\nexten => 777,n,Wait(1)\r\nexten => 777,n,Playback(hello-world)\r\nexten => 777,n,Wait(1)\r\nexten => 777,n,Hangup()<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We create a call file called\u00a0broadcast.call<\/code>\u00a0in\u00a0\/tmp\/<\/code>\u00a0with the following content: vi \/tmp\/broadcast.call<\/div>\n
save the file<\/div>\n
\n
Channel: SIP\/1000\r\nMaxRetries: 2\r\nRetryTime: 60\r\nWaitTime: 30\r\nContext: voicebroadcast\r\nExtension: 777<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
Now we move this file with\u00a0mv \/tmp\/broadcast.call \/var\/spool\/asterisk\/outgoing\/<\/code><\/div>\n
\n
root@striker24x7:~>mv \/tmp\/boradcast.call \/var\/spool\/asterisk\/outgoing\/<\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The following happens:<\/div>\n
