Discourse integration to phone-call system

Good day,

Potential good feature for discourse could be integration with a call system, if this is possible for some situations when it is helpful to be able to talk on the phone or video-call with folks.

One example had mentioned in other topic about flags is if it is possible for an automatic call to be triggered in response to posts being flagged, especially for the new "unlawful" flag as well as the other categories for moderation.

This could be especially helpful for a faster response time from a moderator, to notify more urgently than just push-notification. If I was going to set this up would be with a dedicated phone line to physical phone with mechanical bell and flashing light on a wall, not mobile phone.

In addition if someone is being difficult such that a moderator may need to suspend their account, or there are any other challenges in communication that people can't understand each other well through written text, setting up a call to improve communication could be a good thing as is already possible but not necessarily integrated with discourse that I know of.

Potential feature development for that could be something like with the "account temporarily on hold" notification, say to require someone call in to explain why they want to be a member of a community if perhaps maybe they are not an ideal member.

Starting this topic just to check if anyone else would consider this to be a helpful feature or not you can vote.
