 |
|
I am trying to use a WaitExten in a Macro, and I am finding that the extension which is pressed ends up in context of the calling context and not in the Macro.
How do you do a WaitExten in a Macro?

You may just want a "Read" if you know how many numbers you're looking for.

Bad idea... as far as I know, neither Background nor WaitExten work
correctly inside of macros. I'd suggest you use the Read() application
instead.

Spoke to soon, forgot that I used Background, which is doing the same thing. Any reason macro context is not supported? Just curious. |

Okay, I figured out that I can put the macro context into the Background option, that works. Bit messy in the dial plan, but it will work.
Would be nice if WaitExten supported the context like Background, then both solutions would end up on the same lines.... As is, GotoIf is my friend.
So final solution:
Use Read to get the extension at the end with GotoIf on the variable checks and Background with the context parameter set to the macro context.
