So what are webhooks? So simply put webhooks are methods of augmenting or altering the behavior of a web page or web application with custom callbacks. These callbacks may be maintained, modified, and managed by third-party users and developers who may not necessarily be affiliated with the originating website or application.
Sounds cool right?
So I decided to make use of Twilio's webhooks and make a truly fun app!
For those who don't know what is Twilio here, you can find a lot of information. Simply put it is a service that provides Communication API.
When you call specific you are asked to describe some event. When you describe that event transcription text will be sent to a number of my choosing.
For this project, I used NodeJs and the help of the Twilio interface!
And here is my code. Note if you want to try this app you will need to make your own Twilio account and use your own Auth token here is a very good guide on how to do that. If you have a problem with setting up your own app feel free to contact me. It will be a pleasure to help.
