Hi. 
“Email 2 call” from zapiers build email to twilio lacks parameter “timeout” and
i need it, so i made my own script in python or java, but zapier can’t
run them, because they need library from twilio installed. How to
trigger such script without your own webserver ?
or
2) what phone call app can be used with zapier that have timeout parameter? It means it can stop its call before reaches a phone’s voice mailbox. So i would set timeount so it wont ring too long.

Hi @Chomik 

  1. Zapier code steps can’t call external libraries, so you’d need to set this up on your own webserver and access via a webhook call.
  2. I’m not aware of ones with this specific feature, but here’s a list of all the call apps that connect to Zapier if you want to contact/check: https://zapier.com/apps/categories/phone
