IFTTT: You've been invited to a meeting that's going to take a long time. You can't say no and you're forced to go. Inside, you wish someone would call you so you could come up with a good excuse. Well, you don't have to wait any longer!
If you don't have a friend who knows the situation, you can rely on IFTTT, a very flexible automation app available for iPhone and Android.
With IFTTT, you can easily create an applet with a call to yourself at the scheduled time of the boring meeting.
It should be mentioned that IFTTT's phone calling service has been working for some time but only in the US. The latest version of the IFTTT application brings phone calls outside the US as well.
Let's begin.
Schedule an automated phone call to yourself
Create a free account on IFTTT and enable the Date Time service and VoIP calling service.
Next, create a new widget and select the date for the “this” or “this” status. The trigger should be set to “Every day” and then select the time you want your phone to ring. If you want to receive multiple calls, you will need to create multiple widgets, one for each call.
For the “that” action, select the VoIP calling service and specify any text message. The calling service will read the message to you when you receive the call. That’s it. Make sure your phone is connected to the Internet.
If you forgot to set up the scheduled phone call, IFTTT offers another great option that will help you get out of a sticky situation.
You can tap the IFTTT icon on your phone screen and it will simulate a phone call.
How;
Install ΙFTTT on your phone. Then, create a new application as you did before, but set “this” to the Button of ΙFTTT itself on your device. For the “that” action, select “Call my Phone” and set the text that will be read to you during the call.
That's it! Tap the phone icon, answer the call, politely excuse yourself, and good luck!
