Title: Can I get Phone Calls, perhaps from a third party service?
Post by: Robert on March 29, 2023, 10:58:32 pm

I want to get calls from Silence Detector. I have googled and found some third party sites which could generate a phone call when a dead-air alert email is received.

Do you have any better ideas or experience with this kind of setup?

Use Twilio or Zapier for automation: set your silence detector to send an alert email, then use these tools to trigger a phone call. Alternatively, choose professional silence detection tools like Orban or Barix that support phone alerts directly.

I’ve been looking into the same thing and also found those third-party services that trigger a phone call from an email alert. They can work well, but reliability and cost vary a lot depending on the provider. If you want more control, you could set up a simple automation using a service like Zapier, IFTTT, or Twilio — for example, when the Silence Detector sends an email, the automation can trigger an outbound call with a pre-recorded message or text-to-speech. This way you’re not tied to one vendor and can customize it as needed.
