Inspiration
When starting a small company, you dont have the resources to build a CRM system or maybe buy one.But it's really necessary from the beginning to send welcome messages/run marketing campaigns or payment reminders. Airtable can help you set up a basic CRM from the start, but wouldn't it be cool if we could just segment people in a view and send personalised text/voice messages? So made it!
What it does
It's like a telephone inside Airtable, you can quickly send sms/voice reminders to people in a specific view. So if you need to send a payment reminder /meeting reminder/discount coupons , it's so easy that you can do it in less than 30 seconds.
How I built it
I started with the tutorial sent via email, the Airtable UI components really helped in faster implementation too.
Challenges I ran into
I haven't still figured out a way to import custom css files. Would love that. Also took some time to figure out the Twilio integration.
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
Very happy that I was able to finish this on time, and made something which I really can use, for my startup.
What I learned
React ,Twilio integration and time management(HAHA). Really loved the block platform and block integration, thinking of much more use cases.
What's next for Tely
Rely on a secure backend so that Twilio credentials need not be shared. Call Logs Saved call/sms logic so when a new record is added automatically sends the notification. Tasks to run automatically in specific schedules too, so user dosent need to worry about running the tasks manually
