Can I get Phone Calls, perhaps from a third party service?

[Robert]

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.

Your setup idea is interesting. For a more streamlined solution, you could consider integrating an automation tool or script that directly triggers phone calls from emails. In my experience, exploring community forums for games like Cookie Clicker sometimes reveals creative automation tips, including alert solutions. Sharing more details about your current system might help others provide specific advice that best fits your needs.
