Twilio - chained twimlets

Question

I would like use the twimlets in a chain in this order. I don't know how to do it.

http://twimlets.com/message
http://twimlets.com/forward
http://twimlets.com/voicemail

ie. Say a message, forward a call, if no answer, goto voicemail.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks.

You should be able to do this by using the echo and voicemail Twimlets:

You would use this TwiML in the echo Twimlet:

<Response>
    <Say>Hold on while we connect you</Say>
    <Dial 
         action="/forward?Dial=true&amp;FailUrl=http://twimlets.com/voicemail?Email=foo%40bar.com&amp;Message=Please%20leave%20a%20message&amp;Transcribe=false&" 
         timeout="20" 
         callerId="555-555-5555">555-555-5555</Dial>
</Response>

This TwiML tells Twilio to say a message, then try to dial a phone number. If the call fails (or no one answers) it forwards to the Voicemail Twimlet.
