How to automatically initiate an audio conference using API Originate

Dialplan configuration

Create a new Dialplan procedure "conference"

To implement the initiation of an audio conference, create a separate Dialplan procedure "conference" (WMS -> Dialplan -> Dialplan rules).

Add the following Dialplan applications:

• Set -> CURLOPT(userpwd) with admin credentials of your PBX - allows sending API request
• Custom application -> Set(message=${CURL(http://127.0.0.1/api/v1/Originate, channel=Local/448@users&exten=98123&context=users&context=users&callerid=\"Conference\" <98123>"&async=true)})\

Where:

CURL(http://127.0.0.1/api/v1/Originate - the path to API Originate, (no need to modify it);

channel=Local/448@users - one of the extensions to be called; 

exten=98123 - the number of a Conference (Feature code Conference 98 and 123 - the conference room number);

context=users - a procedure used for making outgoing calls ("users" procedure);

callerid=\"Conference\" <98123>"&async=true - the standard formatting for the callerID (name and number). 

• Jump to -> Dialplan procedure "pbxinternal" (which makes it possible to dial other users and Feature Codes of the system) and add the Conference number (98123, in our example)

Add  a new called number to "users" procedure

Add a phone number to be called to initiate the conference:

• Jump to -> the "conference" procedure
