Building an Automatic Daily Text Notification System - Project Start

#twiliohackathon #python

Project Idea

Hey everyone! I wanted to join the TwilioHackathon & (hopefully) create something neat that others can use as well.

The idea for the build is to create an automatic messaging system that runs daily. Each day, the script would pull data from this API that would be processed, filtered, and passed to someone who subscribes to the notifications via a web form.

I've already made some progress in building this, and the web form can be found here. A user submits their name, location, and a phone number to receive the notifications on.

I'm using WayScript for this build to quickly build all the moving pieces and to automate the script to notify subscribers daily.

Collecting the Data

To get the data that will be passed on to the subscribers, I'll be using Python and the requests library. The code for this project can be found here.

Integrations used

For the completed build, I'll incorporate the Google Sheets API for storing subscribers information and the Twilio messaging API for sending the notifications.

I'll update shortly with more progress. Happy Coding!
