Do you mean that you want an email to be automatically sent to your client, alerting them of call ?, I take it that you dont mean an email should be sent to the person that just called ? Have you looked at http://www.ifttt.com or http://www.zapier.com |

This would definitely be possible with Twilio. I do not believe there are any current scripts that can do this. You would have to have the call forwarded to the client from a Twilio number (ie: Original call will be made to a Twilio number and then forwarded to your client). When the forward happens you can get it to trigger a script on your server that sends an email. When the Twilio registered number receives the call it will trigger a script on your server (say.. 'twilio_respond.php'). This script will mail the message to your client and push the call through. Something like this: <?php mail(); // your mail function here to notify the client ?> <xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Response> <Dial> <Number> 206-444-5555 </Number> </Dial> </Response> <!-- End of file --> Twilio | How can I set up call forwarding? Alternatively you could send a text instead of an email since your already using Twilio. PS: This is a great idea, I am going to start doing this for my advertising to see what methods are most effective. |

here are some twilio mashups Twilio API Profile though wouldnt call whisper be more suitable,Your client will receive a short message before receiving the call stating that you generated the lead This is the best program for tracking calls in my opinion , it will track calls, set up the whisper function and record calls, if that is legal in your country.

Thanks i will investigate this more, as for now i will be hand sending these emails, i find it strange that i am the only one in need of such a app, i have really done a extensive search. It isn't that strange to have a email sent after a call is made, i wish i could use sms, as this is a prospecting thing i do not have the cell phone numbers op my prospects... Thanks for the script and expatiation, it is appreciated. Dave |
