title: AMI Asterisk Manager Interface Originate Action
body: <p>I am currently constructing a C#.NET wrapper for the Asterisk Interface Manager.</p>
  
  <p>I can do simple things like transfers and hangups.  I am now in the process of building conference calling.  I can set up an n-user conference, but I have to do so in terms of "Action: redirect" on existing active channels.</p>
  
  <p>What I'd like to do is route as now non-existent calls (i.e. there is no channel in "core show channels") to my context/extension that puts people in conference rooms.</p>
  
  <p>But I cannot get "Action: originate" to work for anything.  What does originate take a channel as an argument when there is not channel yet?  What is it that you pass to the channel header?  SIP/ does not work for me.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance.</p>
