Rejects phone calls from callers who aren't in your contacts list. On versions of Android which don't allow this via the API the Automate block uses, the flow will instead dismiss the call by activating the primary button in your phone dialer app's phone call notification.

When calls are rejected, a notification is shown which displays the rejected number and time they called. If you tap the notification, your phone dialer app is opened so you can review your call history and perhaps block and/or report the number. If there are too many rejected calls to show in the notification, you can choose to either open the dialer app, or tap the More button in the notification to see them all. If you swipe away the notification, the call counters will be cleared.

Updates:
• Added interactive notification showing rejected calls; allow the dialer app to be chosen during setup so the flow works on more phones
• Don't generate notification when a call has already been identified as spam; improve phone number formatting for locale; automatically determine texting app if possible
• Tapping on the notification now directly opens the dialer app if there are fewer than ten rejected calls
• Use new block to get country code to format phone numbers
