I'm trying to tie in a GPS trigger from a geofence to an autodialing program with no interaction required from the user. The call would be routed to an IVR program and provide the needed prompts that are a constant and don't change. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. GPS platform has the ability to send SMS and email upon geofence activation as a potential triggering event. I'm a novice but very eager to learn...Thanks in advance for you consideration!

Thanks Brandon; I'll totally check that out... It is a stand alone system hard wired into the vehicle.

Thanks again for the tip!

You might want to take a look at zapier.com if you have not already. It has some hooks into RingCentral and maybe you don't need RingCentral at all to accomplish this. Is this GPS running on mobile phones or some stand alone system? Either way I think zapier can take an SMS trigger and then do things with RingCentral or thousands of other actions. Good luck.
