Twilio is a cloud communications platform as a service (CPaaS) provider, allowing software developers to programmatically make and receive phone calls, send and receive text messages, and perform other communication functions using its web service APIs.
In the process of messaging, Twilio sends a webhook to a configured URL: this contains incoming messages, directed to the receiver, or the status of outgoing messages, sent by an application.
To enable your ASP.NET Core application to receive Twilio Webhooks, install the Deveel.Webhooks.Receiver.Twilio library, using the NuGet package manager:
dotnet add package Deveel.Webhooks.Receiver.Twilio
To configure the Twilio Webhook Receiver, you need to add the TwilioWebhookReceiver
to the services collection of your application, in the ConfigureServices
method of the Startup
class:
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services) {
// ...
services.AddTwilioReceiver();
// ...
}
Then, you need to configure the receiver in the Configure
method of the Startup
class:
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env) {
// ...
app.MapTwilioWebhook("/twilio/webhook");
app.MapTwilioWebhook("/twilio/other", webhook => {
// ...
});
// ...
}
