Calling a script when you pick up the phone (asterisk)?

Question

Asterisk

Good evening everyone!
The situation is this:
There is Asterisk Now (Version 6.12.65-26) - os: Linux
Task: after the operator picked up the phone, there was a call to an external script
, I tried to do something in the extensions_custom.conf file
, set it differently
, I could only configure the script is triggered by an incoming call, but not when the operator picks up the phone (I also tried
it through AGI and System and Macros (
Can you show with an example what needs to be done?
I searched everything I could in Google ( forums.asterisk.org/viewtopic.php?p =136759)
but there’s no
point at least indicate where to dig ((((
many people suggest that you can configure via AMI,
just give at least 1 working example, I’ll dig it out myself

Answer 1

Thanks, it worked like this:
[from-internal-custom]
exten => _XXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN},60,U(answer-script,${PARAM}))
same => n,Hangup
[answer -script ]
exten => s,1,AGI(answer.py,${ARG1})
same => n,Return
#!/usr/bin/python
import os,sys
import datetime
ROOT_PATH = os.path .abspath(u'{0}'.format(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))))
file_name = os.path.join(ROOT_PATH, 'answer.txt')
with open(file_name, 'a') as file_to_save:
save_string= u"{0:%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S}: {1}\n".format(datetime.datetime.now(), sys .argv)
file_to_save.write(save_string)

Answer 2

Optional Asterisk Management Interface (AMI)
AMI is a powerful and convenient Asterisk API for managing the system from external programs. In addition to AMI, AGI is often used - this is an interface for launching external applications that control the Asterisk channel within a specific call.
Thanks to AMI, external programs can connect to Asterisk via the TCP protocol, initiate the execution of commands, read the result of their execution, and also receive real-time notifications of ongoing events. These mechanisms can be used, for example, in the following cases:
Need to know the system status
Number of active subscribers
Execute CLI commands remotely
Improve CDR storage
... etc. etc. etc.

exten => 301,1,Dial(SIP/301,,M(booms))
[macro-booms]
exten => s,1,Noop(==Hook up==)
