Hi everyone, I'm a Developer Evangelist at Twilio.
If you need any support with this challenge, please tag me.
Looking forward to your submissions. Happy coding!
Hi @anthonyjdella, I wanted to participate but Twilio blocked my account without any explanation long time ago, and support didn't help/explain anything.
my email: serafimsanvol@gmail.com
@serafimsanvol Sorry about that, I'll contact support to fix the issue.
Thanks, @anthonyjdella!
@serafimsanvol Could you please create a support ticket? If you could, please attach a screenshot and any info about what steps you took until you reached the error. Once you've done that I've escalated this to support and they'll be able to help.
@anthonyjdella, for now, it magically started working again, I wonder what happened :)
Thanks
Hi builders, I'm a DevEvangelist here at Twilio.
If you need any support with this challenge feel free to tag me.
Can't wait to see what you build!
why is it asking me identity government card?
@sweta_kangurisonulkar_ From which region are you registering from? Depending on your country, we may ask for an ID to verify the individual. This is to help build an ecosystem with less fraud and spam messages.
I am confused about WhatsApp send receive from Twilio UI I am able to do send receive but I want to configure AI into it where I can integrate that function for WhatsApp, but I'm not able to find it.
Hi @chintanonweb how are do you have your application set up? You can add some AI API calls into your application for example.
Good luck!
Excited about this one!
Good luck everyone!
Just finished my submission 🥳
@anthonyjdella, I do have some product feedback. When trying out Twilio Functions, I noticed that the max length of environment variables is set to 255 characters. I was using Appwrite Databases as a part of my project, and the API keys happened to be 256 characters in length. This made it somewhat challenging to use environment variables for that purpose.
@adityaoberai Thank you for the feedback, that is good point.
Cheers 🙌
@adityaoberai Thanks for the feedback, we'll alert our product team and try to get this on the roadmap.
Awesome, thank you :)
Sounds awesome. 💥🚀🚀. God Speed to all participants
LET'S GOOOOOOO
Exciting
Good Luck Developers

Looking forward to the great ideas out there! 🌟💡

@anthonyjdella
Update: New code: twilio-ai-devto-quwz5
@captain0jay
That one, along with all the other codes in this thread have expired 😢
Hey, please give the current code a try?
Thanks! That worked.
Can anyone share some sample ideas to build ?
"Build on top of existing twilio project", What does it mean ? To use Twilio API and add AI features to it ?
cc: @anthonyjdella @rishabk7
So that means, if you already have a Twilio project that you built in past, add AI functionality to it, if applicable. Hope that helps.
ohh okay, that helps. Thanks
If possible, Can you share some sample ideas to build ?
@devananth For inspiration, our developer blog has a lot of fun projects. Also, if you're in the US, we have 2 upcoming holidays which you could use for inspiration.
Thanks, will checkout the blogs.
hey @anthonyjdella I was kinda building react app using twilio but somehow I could not login after few hours of inactivity Is there any way to resolve this issue I already generated support ticket but they fwded it to another team.
Also @anthonyjdella can we extend the deadline for submission cuz ig many people are facing same issue as myself.

can we not make a gather request action to a localhost route?
Hi @dhruvb26 your application is hitting localhost, but you'll need a publicly accessible URL from the Internet. Try to deploy your application or have it tied to a public URL, instead of localhost. One tool I like to use is ngrok, here's a cool guide to help you.
Finally, after over a week and iteration through multiple ideas I am able to complete this project.

Looking forward for your feedback, folks ⚡️
Hi @anthonyjdella . Is it possible to configure a Whatsapp number to call a webhook URL? In this doc, the example is for a phone number. I tried replacing the phone number with the WhatsApp number and Twilio CLI sent back a 400 response.
@bytrangle Yes, I believe this is the doc you are looking for.
@anthonyjdella @rishabk7
I am building a WhatsApp chat bot with Twilio. I have set up, Twilio phone number, messaging service, and content template, and got the WhatsApp business account set up.
I am writing my code in a flask app, when I am trying to send message, I am getting "ERROR: 63024"
I am not really sending any authentication-related message so not sure why my message should get blocked.
Can you point me to the right direction on what I should do?
Hello! I tried a few of the codes shared throughout the comments but they're all expired..
@artyymcflyy try this one?
twilio-ai-devto-6099iIt says the code has expired, I mustve missed the window to redeem. Can I have another then I'll try?
It should work, could you give it another try, thank you.
twilio-ai-devto-6099iThat worked! Thank you
Hello Twilio team @anthonyjdella . It seems like the promo code for dev.to participants has expired.
@bytrangle So the promo-codes are rotated daily. Could you try this promo-code:
twilio-ai-devto-6099i@thepracticaldev, @anthonyjdella This is what we shipped → dev.to/neilblaze/visuspeak--24j ✨ , I hope y'all will love it! Feedbacks are greatly appreciated! 😎
Hello team @anthonyjdella and everyone, quick question - are no code/low code solutions allowed? hoping to integrate airtable/zapier based workflow -- but such apps don't provide source code and we directly use api on their platform. write functions. So are such solutions valid?
p.s. some tools allow few additional members on free plan so can add organiser/others as team member.
Thank you verry much. 🙏
Goodluck to all participants
Participating!
let's go 🚀
sounds great! thank you for organising
Bacana 5000 dólares não se ganha toda hora! Boa sorte aos participantes
Quite excited by "making something fun"
Best wishes everybody! :)

Hello @anthonyjdella Does the use *Twilio SendGrid * count? If yes, is there an available webhook that I can use to monitor incoming mails? Thanks in anticipation of your response.
Hi @onwuagba yes Twilio SendGrid counts as a product you can use. Yes, you can use a webhook to monitor incoming emails. Check these docs

Hi @anthonyjdella , can you please help me with activating my SendGrid account? Despite responding to the questions asked, it is still unactivated.
Hi @anthonyjdella can you please help me check this
I'm gonna win this one
Does an API service count? Or do I need to build a full app that has a frontend?
There are no restrictions so you can build an app without a frontend if you'd like.
@anthonyjdella @captain0jay
please i'm having issues with the whatsapp sender API, i can't seem to get it registered
on facebook i can see it but on the twilio whatsapp sender page, it's not showing
Can one person be both the 'prompt winner' as well the 'prize category winner'?
Yes, you can can win both the prompt and prize category but that is generally unlikely.
ahh im only seeing this challenge now, good luck all!
Just wanted to double check whether Sendgrid is considered valid too?
Hello, the twilio-ai-devto-cc4f4 promo has expired
Can you try code
twilio-ai-devto-b24we?@anthonyjdella the code given here and in comments are not working
Hi @anthonyjdella @rishabk7 the promocode twilio-ai-devto-gutvt has expired
@anthonyjdella it seems the promo code keeps expiring. Can you post one that doesn't expire?
@anthonyjdella can we not use Twilio for messaging without getting the number verified first?
You can use the sandbox environment for developing and testing.
It does not require you to get a Twilio Phone Number
@anthonyjdella , can you please provide today's promocode? All promocodes are seemingly expired.
Hey, please give the current code a try?
Twilio banned my account without any reason. I also emailed them but they don't responding. My email: nazmulislam2322@gmail.com
