I have successfully managed to use IFTTT to send emails to a dedicated Cortex email box which is then picked up by Cortex to control various objects. This is working quite well, although it can take around 10-15 minutes for the process, so it's not immediate.
What I am now considering is getting Cortex to send a notification to my pager (one of those cheap papers where the caller pays). If I could dial a number, then send a few digits before hanging up, the call wouldn't be answered by the pager company and I would receive digits on my pager, which would be a code for an event.
Has anyone done anything similar, and what was the method? A bit of online research has brought up Twilio and Plivo where I could use an API to their service. I'm not clear on API really, except using the Android app on Cortex! It might be easier with a modem connected, but I'm not sure.
Thanks
Alex
