Inspiration

Learning and Exploring Twilio.

What it does

It allows HackCU people to post information and doubts expressed by students in the respective Slack Channel. I have created 3 different slack channels parking, accommodation and hacking. When people sends a SMS to the twilio number their messages will be posted in the Slack Channel that is related to their message.

How we built it

We built it using Twilio flows, widget libraries and slack web-hook integration. I used a HTTP request to POST message to the slack channel.

Challenges we ran into

Figuring out how to enable webhook integration, Posting on Slack using Http request.
