How to configure silent mode that rings after several calls

[Lamarine Gran Canaria]

Hi guys!

I am totally new in Tasker, do not know how to properly use it.

The reason I am here is that I need to configure a silent mode that turns on every night from 19h-09h and the whole weekend. However, it should ring the call after the calling person (anyone, not only contacts) calls for the fourth (or fifth) time (as emergency).

Is this possible with Tasker?
Can anyone give me a solution for dummies, since I don't know how it works?

Thank you so much! :-)

This is doable.

1. Create a time context between those 2 times to silence and reset volumes.

2. Create another event to capture incoming phone number and add to counter. Reset volumes after x calls.

This however gets complex if you want to handle multiple calling numbers. They could be calling at different times and different orders.

You can start off simple by tracking for 1 number.

I need it for work (work in hospitality - property management), sometimes people call me even at night to ask something, I want to limit it only to emergencies, in which case the caller calls several times. Only then it should ring.

On my phone I have the option to set a priority for repeated calls - rings if there is a second call from the same number in less than 15min from the first call. I need to increase the number of calls (to 4 or 5), since sometimes people call me 2 or 3 times for non-emergency reasons at night.

understood. This is definitely doable, but will be complicated when trying to handle multiple caller numbers and 15 mins timeframe.

Would an alternate solution work? for e.g. when someone absolutely needs to contact you, they text "urgent" or "911" and you call them back. This text can be intercepted with Tasker and you can set your notifications accordingly... speak something, loud notification tone, vibrate etc. If the text is explicit in indicating urgency, it will help with the callers not misusing too.. for e.g. the text can say "urgent!!!".

it might be better to set up a task that responds to calls with those time parameters that state. if this is an emergency issue please text me "urgent" and i will return your call. else leave a message and i will return your call next business hour..... something like that.
perhaps then you can have tasker check for that "urgent" and you can respond to it....

you can create what you initially requested, it may just be fairly complicated to set up for a newbie.
