About Non-Contacts Calls

Hello

I have a request for you. I hope that's possible. I searched the templates in the app. I searched the forum, but I couldn't find it. That's why I'm opening up a new topic.

Here's what I want:

When a number that's not listed in my contacts calls me, wait a second and refuse to call. Then it will wait two seconds and send an sms to the caller number.

I tried to create a macro, but it didn't work out. It's a seemingly simple but complicated request.

Thank you.

Does your macro look like this one below:
T: Incoming call (Not in contacts)
A: Store calling number in a string variable
A: Wait 1 to 2 seconds
A: Reject call
A: Wait 2 to 3 seconds
A: Send SMS to stored calling number

It should work but I couldn't test it. Tell us.

Hello

Thank you for responding. Can you be a little more specific? If possible, can you show it with one or more screenshots? Or can you tell me step by step?

Thanks.

T: stands for 'Trigger' followed by the type of trigger
A: stands for 'Action' followed by the type of action

The string variable is even not mandatory unless rejecting call erases the [call_number] magic text. But I don't think so.

Yes it seems correct. You even can delete the 'Set variable' action.

Did you try it? Does it work?

Yes, I tried and no, it didn't work. Because, the sms sending function does not work. Because "call_number" only works on people registered in the contact. Therefore, it can't detect the number and therefore cannot send an sms.


I'm sorry I answered so late. I need to use it again. That's why I came here and wrote back.

Thanks.

No, as far as I remember, [call_number] works even with people who are not in your contacts if their number is not hidden

Ok. I'm going to test the macro by asking a number that's not in my contacts to call me. I'll write the result down here. If the macro does not work, is there any alternative way?
