Asterisk 16.0, PJSIP

For the first caller to a conference, I want to dial out and bridge that conference to a new PJSIP external call.

For the next callers, I just want them to join the local Asterisk conference.

After the last caller leaves the conference, I want to hangup the call it initiated.

Most of this works, but there are two problems – after the dial string and username is done sending, no further audio flows between the Confbridge conference and the external call.

Secondly, I understand that I need the name of the “dialling out” channel:

But DIALEDPEERNAME is empty. Can anyone please suggest where I might be going wrong here, and how to complete this? Thank you!
