Hi

I'm looking for a Macro where it helps me with identifying spam calls, for example whenever there is incoming calls, the macro should carry out research on the number and output the spam count as a notification. please see the steps below


1) Extract the incoming phone number
2) Paste the phone number on this website https://who-called.co.uk/
3) Get the spam count number from website and show it as notification whilst the call is still ringing


Your help will be appreciated .


Thanks

Thank you for sharing the Macro, I can see its reaching out to multiple spam checker websites but would it show the notification of spam count while the incoming call is still ringing?
It shows the comments rather than the spam count, the notification comes after all sites are checked. I'm sure it can be modified to show spam count specifically. Bear in mind that spam count may be unreliable as people can have different meanings for spam. That'swhy it gets the comments.

On further investigation, the http request action brings back a page that says just a moment. This is because the website wants to try and screen out automated calls/requests.

Try for yourself to see if you get a different result.

Create a macro, give it a name and a category.

Create a local variable from the green banner at the bottom. Set the variable as a string, give it a name and give it a value of a phone number.

Using the http request action use the URL https://who-called.co.uk/Number/[lv=variable_name]. Set the http request action to save the result to a new string variable and tick block next actions. Run the test macro and look in the variable where the http request action has sent the output. You'll see the title>Just a moment.
