Using dialpad api to send sms and calling

[mohssin365]

Hi,

There is someone how can tell me how to use dialpad api on Appsheet apps?

If you define a column as type of Phone, it will show the dialpad when attempting to enter a phone number on a mobile device.  When you show this Phone column in a Detail view or a Table view, the user will be shown a couple icons (can turn off in column definition) to allow either making a phone call or send a text message.

If you had something specific in mind please share and we can maybe help you further.

I want to make calls/sms through dialpad.com VoIP platform (dialpad rest api) and not through my telecom provider.

I see dialpad is a service. 

You can create webhooks to call REST api's from AppSheet but they are only one-way - send and forget.  I am not familiar with dialpad so not sure what would be required to make VoIP calls.  I would think it would require "request and response" activity which is currently not capable in AppSheet.

Or maybe it can be initiated from AppSheet and then AppSheet launches into a dialpad.com client on the device?   

I think you would be blazing new trails if you get this one figured out.
