Idea of service to create scenario: make a call to a phone number, and I will receive if the call was answered or not

How To
1

Hi,

I have a team that answer phone calls from their homes so I would like to create a scenario that can calls to phone numbers and give me a report (output or answer) if that call was answered or not.

Probably I will know how to do it, but I do not know a service that can make phone calls (in the US) and return me if that phone call was answered or not. Anyone know a service that can do calls and return if it was answered?

I know how to use HTTP, API Calls, etc

Thank you!

Hi @Yanina_Guirotane,

I don’t know of any, but I would suggest you Google “autodialer api”

Make.com does not have a built-in calling system, but you can easily integrate third-party services like Twilio, Plivo, or Vonage (Nexmo) to achieve this functionality. These services allow you to make phone calls and retrieve detailed call statuses, such as whether a call was answered.

Suggested Services for Making Calls:

  1. Twilio
    Twilio provides a robust API for placing calls and tracking their status. You can integrate it with Make.com using HTTP or Twilio modules.

  2. Plivo
    Another excellent service for phone calls and call tracking. Plivo offers a simple API and competitive pricing.

  3. Telnyx
    Telnyx offers advanced calling features and is also a cost-effective option.

How to Integrate in Make.com:

  • Use Make.com’s HTTP Module to call these services’ APIs.
  • Set up a scenario to make a call, passing required details like the recipient’s number, message, or TwiML URL.
  • Use webhooks or polling to retrieve the call status.

I hope that helped.
