Overview

This node interacts with the Asterisk PBX system via the Asterisk REST Interface (ARI). Specifically, the 'Bridges - List' operation allows users to retrieve a list of call bridges managed by the Asterisk system. This is useful for monitoring and managing active call bridges in telephony applications, such as tracking ongoing calls or integrating call bridge data into workflows.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve all active call bridges to monitor current call sessions.
2. Integrate with a CRM system to display call bridge information for customer support.

Output

JSON

• bridges - An array of bridge objects representing the call bridges retrieved from the Asterisk system

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Asterisk REST Interface (ARI).

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Asterisk API credentials are correctly configured and have the necessary permissions to access bridge information.
• Verify the base URL for the Asterisk ARI is correct and accessible from the n8n environment.
• Common errors include authentication failures and network connectivity issues; check credentials and network settings if these occur.
