This project sets up a simple web server to receive SMS messages from Twilio, store them in an Amazon S3 bucket, and display the most recent message via a web page. It's perfect for logging and viewing messages from a Twilio phone number.
- The server receives an SMS message from Twilio, sent to a specific route.
- Upon receipt, the server saves the content of the SMS message to an S3 bucket, creating a new file with a timestamp.
- There is also a route available to view the most recent message by fetching it from the S3 bucket and displaying it on a web page.
- Python 3.x
- Flask
- Boto3 (for interacting with AWS S3)
- A Twilio account and a Twilio phone number that can receive SMS
- An AWS account and an S3 bucket for storing messages
- Clone the repository to your local machine or server.
- Install the required Python packages using
pip install -r requirements.txt. - Set up an environment variable
DB_NAMEcontaining your S3 bucket name. - Update the Twilio phone number's webhook URL to the route on your server that's set up to receive SMS messages.
- Run the Flask application.
- Send an SMS to your Twilio number and then visit the web page to view the message.
To start the server, run:
python webhook.py
