Pick a call and Enter a DTMF key

There are many scenarios in which we get a call and have to click on a specific key in number pad (DTMF) to give authentication/permission, etc. Example, Gate security system where when someonw tries to enter, we get a call, and have to click on a specific number/key to let them in. But entering a DTMF key doesn't seems to be an option currently with Tasker. This would be very useful

Hi. You can probably do that with AutoInput, by making it click on the correct number on the screen: http://joaoapps.com/autoinput/

Hi. In my case, i am hoping for a better solution. One without having to open keypad. Timing and UI is not consistent to reliably use the input method, and it would be much better if I can actually use the phone for something else when Tasker do this in background.

I can also think of other use cases, picking phones and then playing different recorded audio depending on who and when the call is made

Unfortunately there is no API that I can use for that so using the screen is the only way to go I'm afraid...
