Flask Twilio Webhook

This project demonstrates the integration of a Flask application with Twilio to handle incoming messages via a webhook.

Description

This Flask application receives incoming SMS messages using a Twilio webhook, processes the message content, and responds with a confirmation message including the received text.

When a message is sent to your Twilio number, Twilio will send a POST request to the /api/message endpoint of this application. The application then extracts the message content, processes it, and sends back a response acknowledging the received message.

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/thiunuwan/flask-twilio-webhook.git
   cd flask-twilio-webhook

2. Install the required dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Start the Flask application:

   python app.py

4. Set up a ngrok tunnel (optional for local development):

   ngrok http 5000

5. Configure your Twilio number's webhook URL to point to your server's URL followed by /api/message.
