I come here not to debate why it is a good or bad idea, nor to debate the virtues of call park, or non-FreePBX solutions. I want to see how far I can get in FreePBX as an experiment, and hopefully have the community help me fill in the blanks and gotchas. My ideas so far: Caller calls inbound ro…

[image] comtech: Is there a way to make the conference dynamic so I don’t have to hardcode each conference or maybe it is a range of bridges that goes to the next open one? Yes, you can make dynamic confbridges. Asterisk 20 Application_ConfBridge - Asterisk Project - Asterisk Project Wiki …

Also keep in mind that bouncing people in and out of confbridges, etc is going to require some AMI (perhaps AGI) because you’re going to have to Redirect them out of the confbridge, which means they are in a bridge, to send them to voicemail/alternate destinations. You’re also going to need to addr…

I experimented with this using dialplan only as a bolt on to fpbx several years ago, and eventually gave up due to complexity. One of the main problems was ensuring that two external callers would never be bridged together accidentally. Doing such a thing properly with Asterisk would probably mean …

[image] lgaetz: Doing such a thing properly with Asterisk would probably mean not using dialplan and using ARI. It’s not a trivial task. 100% agreed. AMI or ARI would be needed for this. It’s going to be really complex and as I said before things like FollowMe (pre-rings, v2-prim strategies) …

[image] comtech: What would be a good approach for hanging up on the customer after the extension has joined the chat initially, but hangs up (because the call is over). [image] End conference when only one participant remains Applications / Modules Does anyone have…

The caller might not appreciate being charged to listen to ring back tone. If they are using anything more sophisticated than an analogue phone, they will be aware that the call has been answered.

Good point, what do you recommend?

I was planning on 100% Sangoma IP phones, Sangoma Talk desktop and mobile app. But I was getting stuck here in my thinking too. Is there a way to dynamically adjust a button? I don’t think so, so the shared line would be limited to one appearance.

[image] BlazeStudios: You’re also going to need to address FollowMe and Ring Groups. I think your right, It has to be all AMI to be able to check status and move. The only thing I wish I could do is have a dynamic button, but I don’t think that is possible. I’ll take a stab at AMI and report …
