Answer an incoming call by a sip account programatically using AMI

Question

I use asterisk in my project and users login with softphones. I want to grant a person to forward an incoming call to another user's sip account by clicking on a button and answer the call immediately so that the user will be able to start talking with caller.

Answer 1

You need read documentation for you softphones/hardphones. Usualy need add sip header Call-Info: answer-after=0.

So you plan can be

1. Check if auto-answer/intercom posible with your softphone or hardphone.
2. Create dialplan which will add header and call
3. Transfer call to that dialplan using AMI Transfer command
