[WD20] TWILIO --- HTTP, WEB SERVICE, REST or ALL THREE?

Greetings all,

We use Twilio to send out SMS messages and we have a call back URL that Twilio connects to on our server to tell us if the message was delivered and also to handle SMS replies from our clients.

I realized today that one of our vendors is sending out SMS messages via Twilio and did not implement a call back url for the status and replies. So the responses are getting dropped on the floor.

I was hoping to create a simple web service in WinDev 20 to get this done. From the documentation it seems like Twilio does a simple Post to whatever URL I give them and then I have to parse out the data. In version 1.0 of this, I am simply going to lookup a reference number and then email it (along with the reply) to a group email.

So I am curious as to where I would start with this. Do I create a web service project? Is there a way to specify that the web service will be .NET, XML, JSON, REST?

For now, I would simply like to set up a simple web service to take the data posted and email it to myself.

Any pointers would be appreciated...

Thank you!!

Confused in NJ...
