Do not play announcement when forwarding CFNA?

I have CURRI playing an announcement when a Direct Inward Dialled number is called, and then the call continues to the called party.  The ECCP is set on the DN (using CUCM 11.0).

The called party has a Call Forward No Answer set to another extension.  Since the extension's DN also has the same ECCP settings, the announcement is played a second time when the call is forwarded.

Is there a way to prevent the announcement from being played when the call is FORWARDED?

The routing request does not indicate how the call "got" to the trigger point (direct dialed, forwarded, etc.). To CURRI, every call request stands as a unique call request, so there is no way to know if it was forwarded or not.

You might have to think of a different <triggerpointtype> to play the announcement, so that the extension to extension forwards don't trigger the same CURRI response. For example, the initial call passes through a translation pattern that doesn't change the called number, it just triggers CURRI (CURRI _can_ see whether it's a TP or an extension that triggered the request). You can still trigger on the DN for other purposes, but by looking at the <triggerpointtype>, you can determine that no announcement should be played.

I will have the initial called number translate on the gateway to a temp number, have a translation pattern on the CUCM pick it up and translate it to the proper number, and trigger CURRI.  That should sort it out.

Again, thanks for a most useful piece of software!
