Here’s my cmd:

originate MOTIF/8447/+12122064431@voice.google.com extension s@greeting

Greeting:

[greeting]
exten=> s,1,Wait(2)
same=>n,Background(“hello”)
same=>n,Wait(3)

I can see the call go out (also in, since testing on one our own numbers), but [greeting] never executes.

I’m expecting to see that when the motif call comes in and is answered, the dialplan would connect [greeting] with the answered call.

  • How about:

    [greeting]
    exten=> s,1,Answer()
    same=>n,Background(silence/2&hello)
    same=>n,Wait(3)

    provided you know why you want to call Background() instead of Playback().
