A simple system that will leverage SMS from Nexmo 📲👌 and create a way for anybody to SMS an answer to a question. Live dashboard shows incoming quiz responses uses Pusher 🤖♥. Used at Hackference 2016 to manage the quiz at the conference.
The whole system was hacked together quickly, thanks to the wonderful API's of Nexmo and Pusher, who make it super quick to get something up and running within hours.
- PHP 5.5.9
- MySQL
- Nexmo Account
- Pusher Account
git clone https://github.com/JakePrice86/QuizSMS .
composer install
php artisan migrate
If you have any problems, make sure you follow these instructions
in .env you should change:
DB_DATABASE=
DB_USERNAME=
DB_PASSWORD=
PUSHER_KEY=
PUSHER_SECRET=
APP_ID=
To change the answers, find config/answers.php and change the array. It should be very self-explanatory.
When creating a number inside Nexmo, you'll want to set a webhook back to your system. This webhook will tell you when somebody has SMS your number, and will parse the body of the message, and check if the answer is right or wrong. The webhook you want to enter in should be http://YOURWEBSITE.COM/quiz
Users should text your number from Nexmo with messages that look like: A 1 or C 13 - Answer then Question. A user can only answer a question once, and their first answer is the one that is recorded. Monitor your live responses at http://YOURWEBSITE.COM/dashboard, check who has entered on the Users page, and pick a random correct answer from all of the correct answers!
