Whatsapp Messages via Webpage

• 

  JS that runs in the node environment

Inspiration- My mother inspired me to build something that would stretch my knowledge and skills, so I decided to do something I've never done before. I decided to use WhatsApp because it is something I use in everyday life.

What it does- It is a webpage that gathers user input as a message and sends it via Twilio messaging API to WhatsApp.

How I built it- I built a simple HTML page with Javascript, that generated an output file. I played the output file. I configured a node.js server to connect to Twilio messaging API. The output file is processed by the node server to push the message data via Twilio to WhatsApp.

Challenges I ran into- Setting up the node environment, formatting HTML form data into the right output, and recording the demo.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of- I am proud of learning something about how node works, seeing WhatsApp messages pop up on my phone.

What I learned- I learned more about basic HTML and how nodejs works. I also read about Twilio messaging API

What's next for Whatsapp Messages via Webpage- I will complete the output file generation and automate the node file processing. I may add this feature in future projects.
