TwilioToEmail 0.0.7

A middle man service that acts as a Twilio wrapper

About the Project

As I was going through Zapier's most popular projects, I came across one that caught my eye. They had an application that could forward a text message to an email address using the Twilio API. Having experience with the Twilio API, I decided I'd make a similar project.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

The only external package you need is the requests library. Also, you will need a Twilio account, and an email that allows you to send emails.

Quick Start

Simply import TwilioToEmail and pass the decoded Twilio body into the SmsMessage class. Then forward the message via the Email class's send_email function. Check out the example below.

from TwilioToEmail import SmsMessage

sms_body = SmsMessage(Twilio.decode('utf-8').split("&"))

email = twilio_mail.Email("from_email","to_email","subject line")
email.send_email(sms_body)

Some Nice Features

TwilioToEmail can also handle media messages as well. Files like images, videos, audio, and others are saved as either MP4 or JPG. If a path location is not given to the SmsMessage class then the default home/last_four_digits_of_number directory is used to save media files.

Roadmap

• Allow user to parse through SMS body via a dictionary
• Add all default keys in the dictionary that Twilio API sends
• Allow user to compress media files
• Let user save info in CSV
