Sinatra app that receives data from Twilio and puts it into Backdrop.
It runs on Heroku.
This was a 2 day Christmas project that I worked on at the Government Digital Service at the end of 2013.
Backdrop is the data store and API behind the Performance Platform.
My Twilio trial account provides a UK phone number that is set up to POST
to an endpoint I provide.
Twilio POSTs to the endpoint inside this app (/twilio/sms) with details
of the SMS it has just received. This app processes the SMS, connects to
Backdrop and then sends a response (if the trial account has enough credit).
- Add a "secret word" to the beginning of your SMS to act as basic authentication
- Move away from a single bucket (store multiple bucket names and tokens in a database)
