Did the same thing to get a wedding registration appointment with the Berlin city administration, but used Ghostery instead of AWS+Twilio. The responsible administration department currently doesn’t give out appointments and advises not to plan weddings because they are so understaffed, but I didn’t feel like waiting.
Got a notification email from Gostery in the middle of the night, registered the only available slot et voilà!

- zeristor 9y agoIsn’t Ghostery an ad-blocker? I can’t see anything else with that name. All the references in this thread are great tips, so I’d like to track this one down too.
