Overview

This node interacts with the Asterisk PBX system via the Asterisk REST Interface (ARI) to manage call bridges, specifically to stop music on hold for a given bridge. It is useful in telephony systems where controlling call bridges and their media playback is necessary, such as stopping music on hold when a call is ready to be connected or resumed.

Use Case Examples

1. In a call center setup, stopping music on hold when an agent is ready to take a call.
2. In an automated call handling system, stopping music on hold when a call is transferred to a live operator.
