Bday Texter

Schedule to send a birthday text.

Comment

Inspiration

I wanted to try creating a form in which the user can submit information and then use that information.

What it does

By filling out the form, the user can schedule to send a birthday text to someone else.

How I built it

I used Wix's EditorX and Twilio's sms features to build a website.

Challenges I ran into

Working with Twilio and EditorX was a new experience for me and I wasn't able to find a way to have the birthday message include the user's name or the recipient's name. I also wasn't able to schedule the message to send at a specific time instead of just immediately.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The color scheme and design of the website is nicer than I thought it would turn out to be and I was able to get the form to send a message.

What I learned

I learned more about the design process and gained more experience working with EditorX and Twilio.

What's next for bday texter

Next, I would like to find a way to fix the problems I ran into. Also, adding the ability to for the user to send a personalized message to the recipient of their choice would be an interesting feature.
