Automate a phonecall

[Roger Balfour]

Hi guys

I want to automate a call at a few specified times of day. The number needs to be dialled, wait a number of seconds, input a recorded voice message, then input a keypress, then wait a few more seconds, then end the call. I'm new to Automate. Had a play with it but couldn't get very far. Anyone able to help me out?

I started with "Date Pick", then "Dial Number", "Delay awake", "Sound Play", "Delay awake", "Key Send", "Delay awake", "Call End" as my flow. Doesn't seem to work, but I'm a complete newbie.

Thanks!

Sadly not possible, as the Sound play block documentation say, "Note! Few devices support playback in phone calls through the Voice call audio stream."

To send keypad "tones" upstream in phone call use the DTMF tone play block instead.

He would mean to record own voice with Record audio block and play it just before call end I think possible on very little model since you cannot playback any music or video while phone is calling.

You know what.  The voicenote thing isn't critical, just the keypress. So instead, the procedure would be: 1) Dial phone number, 2) wait a number of seconds, 3) input a keypress, 4) then wait a few more seconds, 5) then end the call.  Any ideas how I would do that? As I say, the flow I tried before didn't work. Please bear in mind you're talking to a layman here :)

A flow like:

1. Flow beginning
2. Dial number
3. Delay
4. DTMF tone play or Interact
5. Delay
6. Call end

You'll need to test it first if use Interact block may not work on some apps try with a simple flow to call something.
