Topic: function like VICIDIAL : teleyapper

[soprom]

Hi all!

I'm looking for an opensource app that can autodial pre-recorded messages to a list of phone numbers (I've read it is also called blast and broadcast).

Anyone tried VICIDIAL or something like it?

[bbialy]

If you don't need any user friendly interface it is easy to prepare custom app which will dial numbers listed in text files and playback files. It is also possible to have many simultanous calls. I can help to handle it.

If you need interface case is more complicated. I don't have expirences with that. I would search some click to dial application and prepare autodial context for it.

Regards
Maciej

Hi Sophie,

I think Maciej is right.  Vicidial is not trivial to install and you would need to run it on a separate asterisk instance to SAIL.  They are probably too far apart conceptually to be integrated.

For a simple "dial and play" type blaster such as you describe then I think a simple custom app either reading a file or databse of numbers would probably be the fastest and easiest route.

Thanks for any help about this, because I have no experience with custom apps. If I can get help with this, I might be able to work on the gui.

The project is to supply a list of phone numbers to call and a voice file to asterisk. Then to have a report with the phone numbers with a status (done, error).

There is something about this here:

Here is some stuff from nerdvittles (creative commons):
http://nerdvittles.com/index.php?p=113

This should be adapted to selintra and could be a starting point...

The workflow is going like this:

x674 controls the dialer
- password protected
- ivr [yapper]:
   1. listen to prerecorded messages
   2. record new [yapper2]
   3. start calling [yapper3]
      issue group option [yapper-options] or 0
      listen to the total of matching records
      issue confirmation

Testing: here's what I did...

1. created table with data
2. installed php files
3. added new custom app named "blaster" with all the needed dialplan
    - description yapper
    - span both
    - cluster sophie
4. committed and called extension 674


Asterisk said DigitTimeout is missing. I replaced it with "timout" with same result...

Getting better but...

Database credentials need to be edited (line 175) in file:
/var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/teleyapper.php

Also, the line must have a valid trunk name:
$trunk = "IAX2/514outpeer" ;

and... it works!

Must have this to speak french now...

[SARK devs]

Cool - I thought it looked as tho' it would just plug-in to sail custom app structure...  and you said you couldn't do custom apps... and now you're an expert!

Just one thing Sophie..  French?  French?  Surely Quebecois? 



 

[soprom]

French?  French?  Surely Quebecois?

Indeed!!! I hope that someday there will be fr_ca and fr_qc!!!

This project went smoothly and I guess I under-estimated my understanding of it. NerdVittle have a way to put things simply and clearly.  They deserve the credit with you guys from selintra.


From this thread, would you be able to tell where language can be changed to "fr" ?

Thanks!

Soprom,

It's a interesting project.

Thanks,

[SARK devs]

From this thread, would you be able to tell where language can be changed to "fr" ?

language is set for each channel (IAX,SIP,Zap).  Set it in headers->sip.conf/zapata.conf/iax.conf... However, your system is already set for French (I can see that from the console output) so I'm not sure I understand your question.

I does not work with Asterisk 1.4.24 because of a bug waiting to be fixed.

[soprom]

Soprom,
How about a How-to for the wiki?

For now (until the bug is corrected it won't really matter), I've posted my notes here:
http://drupal.logiciel-libre.org/yapper

I aggree that a bunch of howtos under Asterisk/custumapps would be a great way to complement this super pbx! There are so many fun things to make a phone rings!!!

Which wiki tho? Selintra or Contribs?

[SARK devs]

HI Sophie,

Is this all good now?

I'd like to publish your work on the SARKPBX Wiki if it is running OK.

Best

[soprom]

This app is running on sail-2.2.1 but not on sail-2.3.1 with Asterisk 1.4.24.

I see that ATRPMS has asterisk.i386 1:1.4.25.1-78.el4 but smecontribs is still at version asterisk-1.4.24.1-76.el4

[soprom]

Will test after this update:

Code: [Select]

yum update --enablerepo=atrpms \
 dahdi-linux-kmdl-`uname -r` \
 dahdi-tools \
 libpri \
 asterisk \
 asterisk-addons
(see http://wiki.contribs.org/ATrpms if needed)

[soprom]

... and it works after this last update!

The main concern with this app is the localization. It requires most of the work.

I'll be working on a manager to edit the list of numbers to call and to review results like

As you've already found...

1.4.25 is fine.

We run it here



I think we are just about ready to declare 2.3.1-12 stable(ish) -  (holds breath, waits for bug report to arrive)
