You can also set the webhook

Using your code with Twilio In order for Twilio to use your application for its webhooks, it will need a public URL. There are many ways to deploy Java code online, but for simplicity, I recommend using ngrok . After installing ngrok , you can run ngrok http 8080 and you will see a forwarding URL https that you will need to set for when "a message arrives" on your phone number configuration page. Don't forget to add the path /sms to the URL: Screenshot of the "when a message arrives" webhook configuration in the Twilio console.
You can also set the webhook URL for a phone number philippines whatsapp number using Twilio CLI : twilio phone-numbers:update <PHONE_NUMBER> --sms-url=<URL> If the URL is an address localhost, the Twilio command line interface (CLI) will create an ngrok tunnel for you. If you want to test the system before giving out the real number, recruit a few friends with phones or use other Twilio numbers to try. Once you're happy, move the application to an always-on public cloud so you don't have to keep your development machine running all the time. I'm digressing, but the Spring documentation on packaging and deployment has a lot of options.
You only need one HTTP request for each SMS sent to your Twilio number, so the requirements are very limited. To go further There are many improvements you can make to this application, for example: For large groups, it may be useful to include the sender's number in CC messages. Add an "address book" in your app so you can add the name instead of the number when sending to recipients outside the group. There is no check to ensure that HTTP requests actually come from Twilio. This is a minor issue for this application because if someone else calls your application, they will receive TwiML in return, but it will not cost you anything.
If you want to add this check, I wrote the article Securing your Twilio webhooks in Java which will show you how to do it. Let me know what projects you're building with Twilio! Hit me up on Twitter @MaximumGilliard or . I can't wait to see what you build!Since the launch of TwilioQuest 3.1, over 100,000 players have made the decision to become an Operator, spending a total of approximately 5 million minutes of playtime fighting the evil Legacy Systems. Now, it’s time to take the next big step on that journey.
