I am considering using Twillio as an extension in an existing application.
My use-case is this:
- User clicks button in application
- Using Twilio API, the application calls the user.
- The user answers their phone
- Twilio connects user to some phone number. (fetched from db)
It’s a bit strange, but it is exactly my customer’s request. Before I spend too much time in the rabbit hole, I thought I would ask the community, can I do this with Twilio APIs?

Yes. That’s actually very simple in Twilio:

This is definitely a common use case for Twilio. In fact, it’s so common that we wrote up an in-depth tutorial showing you how to build an app like the one you described.
We’ve got it in PHP, Node, Python, and Ruby – here’s the PHP version:

If you prefer to just reference the code, you can find it on GitHub too: https://github.com/TwilioDevEd/clicktocall-laravel
