Is there any application which is create a (fake) incoming SMS from a Google Calendar event? - notifications

That would be a great notification method. Since the Google not sending anymore SMS reminder, and the other portals doing that for charge; That would be nice to have a small application which is create a (fake) incoming SMS from the Google Calendar events (including all days event) in a certain (pre-set) time.
Any ideas?

Based from this documentation, Google still sends SMS reminder. However, the are only available for G Suite customers. Requests to set SMS reminders for other account types are ignored. If you are a G Suite customer, you may check this page on how to turn on SMS notifications.

Is there a way to use WhatsApp API with third party apps?

I am new to using WhatsApp API. I am not sure but it seems that the api is for business users only. I want to use the api to send messages to users automatically based on a change in an app, (say PowerBI). I want to send updates regarding a report whenever a change is made and send it through whatsapp instead of email.
Yes, WhatsApp API is for business users. But, if you still looking for a WhatsApp bot I recommend Twilio, there are a lot of content about it in the internet. Check out this video, It's using python and really easy.

How to chat and call automatically in MS Teams?

I'm working on a solution to build a system that automatically alerts users on Microsoft Teams. The order of execution will be:
Automatically scan alarm logs
Sort and send MS Teams messages to personnel for corresponding processing
If the processing staff does not receive the message, make a call on MS Teams to read the pre-recorded voice record.
I used python to automatically get the warning list, to send this alert list to the handler, I have tried MS Teams REST API but it only supports sending messages to Channel. How do I automatically chat and voice calls to an MS Teams user? Can chatbot help me with this problem? I see there are many types of bots that can be added to the conversation:
I think a chatbot is definitely the best way to deal with this. Essentially, you're wanting the bot to message a user on demand, which is something called "Proactive Messaging". You can read more here and here. There are a few things you need to know about this, but in a nutshell you need a way to specifically identify the user for sending the message, which you can get when the user first installs your bot (mostly you need "ServiceUrl" and "ConversationId").
With regards to knowing if the user has read the message, you might want to send an "adaptive card" with a button for the user to acknowledge that they've read the message, and if you don't get a callback within some time frame, start the voice call.

How some whatsapp auto reply apps can use our own phone number to do auto reply? I want to build using PHP

I'm applying from Twilio to use their WhatsApp API service they are providing to build a WhatsApp auto-reply bot. But the problem here is that they want us to use the phone number they provide to us which we need to buy from them.
I tried using the URL 'https://api.whatsapp.com/send?phone=15551234567' but it just redirects to a page to send a message which I need to click 'Send' in order for it to submit our message. Besides that, we need to be able to trigger the application that a message is received from a recipient so we still need to access the API.
So how exactly is it I want to build a Whatsapp Auto Reply service to the public if Twilio provides it's own phone number only to reply. I want to reply using phone numbers that my clients register with me which is their own phone numbers.
As we know Whatsapp API is not open for public but how other Whatsapp Auto Reply apps are able to use our phone number to auto-reply to our recipients?
Would love some feedback or solutions from StackOverflow community. Thanks.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
Currently the Twilio documentation on using numbers on WhatsApp says:
Currently, we are unable to enable WhatsApp on non-Twilio numbers; support for this is coming soon and we will update these docs once available.
So this is just a current limitation and will be changed in the future.

Notifications are being sent to guests randomly when event is created/updated with Google Calendar V3 API

Calendar notifications are sent out to attendees though the send_notification parameter is false in the API (default is false). But this is happening randomly, not for every user calendar that our app was creating event using insert/update API.
We are not sure if this is an issue on Google side. As we are seeing it randomly it has become very difficult for us to troubleshoot. Appreciate any help from Google.
Attendees in the event could be Google hosted domain users or MS Exchange users. Every one is getting invitation.
Thanks in advance.
