How to click one button to call several persons by...

Dear Team,
I would like to build an App that has two two tables, Table 1 is for the Callers, and Table 2 is for that persons to be called. When a Caller from Table 1 is pushing button, this action will call several persons in the same group in Table 2. Could anyone show me how to do this?
Thanks for your help and advices!

Can you call/dial several persons at the same time from your mobile phone all at once?

jmwinternationa

No. But, I want to build app to do so, more like one button to invite several persons to a conference call.

jmwinternationa

thank you very much for your question and interest!

Not possible.

jmwinternationa

Can we write code to accomplish this ? thanks for your response!

Steve

Can an app creator, with AppSheet? No.

What you want would be a function of your phone app, not AppSheet.

jmwinternationa

Thanks! Can you be able to help build a phone app like to this with pay for your work?

Steve

Nope.

Do you know anyone who could help? Thanks

You would be paying an arm and a leg for functionality that already exists in the form of other apps.

Thanks for letting me know that someone has developed. Do you know the name(s) of the app(s)?

AppSheet supports direct connections to Google Calendar as a datasource.

And each event will auto-generate a meeting link if the feature is enabled:

This link shows up in AppSheet when you connect the calendar as a datasource:

Once you click the meeting link, you can add users by calling them.

I think that’s as close as you can get to automating this in AppSheet.

I don’t know how you could automate adding each contact to the call, but you could easily build an app that gets you close. Then the user would just copy/paste a few phone numbers and jump between tabs for AppSheet and Google Meet.
