Is there a way to have something similar to a Queue Join Announcement to be played
before ringing an extension. without need to create a queue per extension?
To be clear a caller dial in, the system answers, this call might be recoded for. blah, blab… and then ring the extension.
Not sure what you are trying to achieve. OP was trying to replicate the queue Join Announcement when dialing an extension directly. If you are using a queue, use the queue Join Announcement.
This only works when calling from one extension to another. Eg 421 calls to 420 (with follow me enabled).
But if a call is first in Queue (with join announcement) and then goes to 420 (with follow me enabled), the Please hold prompt isn’t played.
call to queue → 2. queue join announcement (this call might be recoded for. blah, blab… ) → 3. join announcement on extension (Your call will be handled by John Doe). → 4. ring to extension
