Blacklist

[TheBrain1984]

Hello everybody,

is there a possibility to design a blacklist, so if a person calls, the mobile ignores the call. I know you can make a flow, that if a specific person tries to call you, that the mobile "automagicly" hangs up, but you can hear about the first second of your ringtone and I don't want to hear anything.
Is there an other solution, maybe with another flow or does anybody know a blacklist app, where you can change the numbers or the status of the blacklist app via an "activity".
The reason why I want to solve it with Automagic is, because I want to change the numbers on the blacklist defined by the area where I am or maybe just the status of the blacklist app via an activity triggered by Automagic (like "block person from blacklist" <--> "block nobody" <--> "block everybody except whitelist").
I hope somebody can help maybe and that my english is not the worst you've ever read ^^.

Regards
Manuel

I can't help you with scripting but the logic could be done as follows: Make your phone silent as default instead of ringing. Define the blacklisted numbers in script and if the number calling is NOT blacklisted, play ringtone.

That would get rid of the few seconds ringing problem.

Thanks, I think I'll try it that way and if it works for me, I'll use it as a permanent solution.

I tried it like this: Phone is default in silentmode, if somebody calls me who isn't on the "blacklist" the phone goes back to "normal" mode. It didn't work because it changes the mode while ringing and the ringing mode for the actual calling seems to be set at the begining of the ringing aan can't be change while ringing.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough. I was aware that it might not work if you use the ringer mode. Use automagic actions instead to produce the sound and vibration. That's very dirty workaround but I don't know of any more viable solution to the bug you described.
