RESTPhone lets you make and receive phone calls as an interface to your web site.

It's a simple way to build interactive voice response systems in Ruby.

RESTPhone is a web service that handles the details of the calls for you. You can build systems like:

"Press 1 to hear when your order will ship. Press 2 to speak with customer service."

"Enter your confirmation code to verify that this is the correct phone number."
How RESTPhone works
  • You write Ruby that describes your interactive voice response (IVR), including instructions about when to send HTTP POST and GET requests to your own URLs.
  • You call a method that uploads your IVR definition to www.restphone.com.
  • These IVRs can be used for incoming and outgoing calls. For incoming calls, we provide the phone numbers.
  • When your users call your RESTPhone number, or when you call their number, RESTPhone sends the POSTs and GETs to your URLs according to your code and the user's actions.
