Ring back to transferrer instead of going to voicemail?

JustinHoMi · July 14, 2008, 3:45pm

I have a client who prefers not to use voicemail all the time. Rather than a voicemail message, they would prefer that when a call is transferred, and no one picks up, it will ring back to the person who originally transferred the call. Any ideas on how to do this?

I did find an old post (http://www.freepbx.org/forum/blind-transfer) that explains how to do it on blind transfer, but I’d like to do this for both types of transfer. The code posted in that thread is a bit out of date too.

Thanks!
Justin

When I went to that link it looks like it’s written in a different language. I have a client that is about to pull the phone system (we just sold it) if we can’t get this fixed soon… this means I would have to buy back about 15 polycom IP501s and I really don’t want to do that.

There HAS to be a workable solution for this.

I thought this would be a quick few lines of code to help you out. It ended up taking all of a Sunday morning. You may have to play with it a little, but it works on my machine and I like it enough to keep using it.

Put it in extensions_custom.conf. Then put your extensions in custom-from_internal from FreePBX. I am also going to submit this as a feature request for the next FreePBX.

[custom-test_transfer]

; This code will transfer a call and if it is not answered in the time set
; below, it will ring back the original transferor with the call. The time set
; below must be less than the voicemail timeout on the called extension.
; This code will require modification if you have differing extension number lengths
; ie; you have some 3 digit extensions and some four digit extensions.
;
; To use it, put the extensions that you want to have this behaviour in a special context
; of custom-from_internal

exten => _X.,1,NOOP(entering custom-test_transfer)
exten => _X.,n,set(timeoutd=20) ; set timeout in seconds
exten => _X.,n,set(extLeng=${LEN(${EXTEN})})
exten => _X.,n,noop(the extenlength is ${extLeng}
exten => _x.,n,dial(local/${EXTEN}@from-internal,${timeoutd})
exten => _X.,n,Gotoif($["${DIALSTATUS}" = “ANSWER”]?hangup,callback)
exten => _X.,n(callback),dial(local/${BLINDTRANSFER:4:${extLeng}}@from-internal)
exten => _X.,n(hangup),hangup()

[custom-from_internal]

; This context sets a custom transfer context in Asterisk to use the code in
; custom-test_transfer

exten => _x.,1,NOOP(here tiz in custom-from_internal)
exten => _x.,n,set(__TRANSFER_CONTEXT=custom-test_transfer|${EXTEN}|1)
exten => _x.,n,goto(from-internal,${EXTEN},1)

You will also need to include the following line in from-pstn-custom in extensions_custom.conf to make this work with incoming calls.

exten => _x.,n,set(__TRANSFER_CONTEXT=custom-test_transfer|${EXTEN}|1)

JustinHoMi · August 10, 2008, 6:25pm

Great! Thanks for spending time on this! It excites me enough that I think I will drive to my client tonight and test this.

There might be a typo in the following line:

exten => _X.,n,noop(the extenlength is ${extLeng}

It’s missing a closing parenthesis. It should be:

exten => _X.,n,noop(the extenlength is ${extLeng})

jmullinix · August 10, 2008, 6:33pm

That explains why that wasn’t showing up in the CLI output. Nice catch. Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

jmullinix · August 10, 2008, 7:32pm

Might want to add these to make it so you can transfer to a voicemail box.

exten => _*X.,1,dial(local/${EXTEN}@from-internal,15)
exten => _*X.,n,hangup()

JustinHoMi · August 10, 2008, 7:36pm

Where would I put those? I’m a bit of an asterisk-config-novice.

jmullinix · August 10, 2008, 7:42pm

I put them in the right place at the bottom of this context.

I’m at the client, testing it. It’s not working, so. I’ll past the relevant debug lines and my config:

[/code]

In freepbx, I disabled followme for the extensions that I’m testing it on. And for each extension i set the context to custom-from_internal. That’s everything I did. The phones are set to go to voicemail in 15 seconds, so I changed timeoutd to 10 seconds.

To test it, I called in with my cell phone and answered the call. Then I tried both a blind transfer and a semi-attended transfer (don’t know what to call this) to another extension. It is just going to voicemail.

Any ideas?

Justin

JustinHoMi · August 10, 2008, 9:57pm

Actually, those logs are only displayed when I do an attended transfer. I don’t see anything with custom-from_internal (except during asterisk initialization) when doing a blind xfer.

jmullinix · August 10, 2008, 10:04pm

Did you add this line to from-pstn-custom in extensions_customs.conf?

[from-pstn-custom]
exten => _x.,n,set(__TRANSFER_CONTEXT=custom-test_transfer|${EXTEN}|1)

Also make sure the extensions are in the context custom-from_internal

I will be available until 1900 Eastern time (2300 UTC) if you want to call. We have friends coming over for dinner.

JustinHoMi · August 10, 2008, 10:13pm

Yes, I added the from-pstn-custom addition to extensions_custom.conf. I’ll give you a ring now!

Justin

Justin,

For some reason, it is not entering the custom code. Do me a favor. On your machine put this in from-internal-custom

exten => 4455,1,noop(Entering Test number)
exten => 4455,n,set(testvar=JohnWasHere)
exten => 4455,n,noop(the contents are $testvar})
exten => 4455,n,setvar(testing=FredWasHere)
exten => 4455,n,noop(testing is ${testing})
exten => 4455,n,hangup()

then dial 4455 and send me the cli output.

OK, you can delete my 4455 code. Set works and SetVar doesn’t. The extension is entering my context, so it must be the PSTN that is not getting into my context. Take a look and see what context your incoming calls are coming in on and get that one line of code into that context somehow.

On my machine, the custom code for inbound is from-pstn-custom, but yours may be different.

Off to light the grill and open the wine.

Have a great evening.

JustinHoMi · August 11, 2008, 12:12am

I was wondering if that was the problem. I think they are coming in on from-trunk. If I add your line to [from-trunk] in extensions.conf, then it works.

However, I wonder if from-trunk is some all-encompassing context. I know it’s not safe to put anything in extensions.conf, so if from-trunk is the correct context, then I’ll just have to figure out another way to get it in there.

By the way, I upgraded asterisk to 1.4.21. Towards the end of the PBXIAF update script I got a lovely kernel panic, and fully expected many horrors to ensue. however, everything seems to work well. I’m hoping that it panic’d after everything was done updating.

Thanks again for your help!

SkykingOH · August 11, 2008, 1:37am

[from-trunk] simply includes [from-pstn]

Would it work if you added a new context in extensions_custom, ended the code with a goto(from_trunk) and then change the context of your inbound trunk?

Just an idea.

jmullinix · August 11, 2008, 11:43am

from-trunk is just a placeholder and includes from-pstn. Here is the snippet from my extensions.conf

[from-trunk] ; just an alias since VoIP shouldn’t be called PSTN
include => from-pstn

[from-pstn]
include => from-pstn-custom ; create this context in extensions_custom.conf to include customizations
include => ext-did
include => from-did-direct ; MODIFICATOIN (PL) for findmefollow if enabled, should be bofore ext-local
include => ext-did-catchall ; THIS MUST COME AFTER ext-did
exten => fax,1,Goto(ext-fax,in_fax,1)

As you see, [from-pstn] has an include for from-pstn-custom. You should be able to put the following in extensions_custom.conf

[from-pstn-custom]

exten => _x.,n,set(__TRANSFER_CONTEXT=custom-test_transfer|${EXTEN}|1)

and that should do it. If you leave it in from-trunk in extensions.conf, it will get overwritten the next time you reload FreePBX. If this doesn’t fix it, try Scott’s way. Create a context in extensions_custom.conf and call it say from-trunk-special. Put this in it.

[from-trunk-special]

exten => _x.,n,set(__TRANSFER_CONTEXT=custom-test_transfer|${EXTEN}|1)
exten => _X.,n,goto(from-pstn,${EXTEN},1)

Then put your trunks in the context from-trunk-special.

While typing this, I noticed a potential mistake. My line:

[from-pstn-custom]

exten => _x.,n,set(__TRANSFER_CONTEXT=custom-test_transfer|${EXTEN}|1)

should be:

[from-pstn-custom]

exten => _x.,1,set(__TRANSFER_CONTEXT=custom-test_transfer|${EXTEN}|1) ;note change n to 1

Might want to try this change first. It won’t be the first time I have fat-fingered code.

Have a great day and feel free to call if you have questions.
