Use Twilio to create SMS notifications to keep your subscribers in the loop.
-
You will need to configure Twilio to send requests to your application when SMS are received.
You will need to provision at least one Twilio number with SMS capabilities so the application's users can make property reservations. You can buy a number right here. Once you have a number you need to configure your number to work with your application. Open the number management page and open a number's configuration by clicking on it.
Remember that the number where you change the SMS webhook must be the same one you set on the
TwilioPhoneNumber
setting.To start using
ngrok
in our project you'll have execute to the following line in the command prompt.ngrok http 8080 -host-header="localhost:8080"
Keep in mind that our endpoint is:
http://<your-ngrok-subdomain>.ngrok.io/message
