Twilio sms session between multiple website user pairs using app's twilio number -


i want start , end session website multiple users can start sms session website , send message mobile numbers using site's twilio number. receiver can reply message , sender user sms on website. want keep conversation record both parties.

please suggest best possible solution.

twilio evangelist here.

we call anonymous communications , easy achieve. have 2 different ways of approaching it:

rest api

when sends sms twilio number, respond twilio empty twiml:

<response></response> 

then, use helper library in preferred language make api call twilio send message counter-party. ruby helper library, (remember change parameters described):

require 'twilio-ruby' client = twilio::rest::client.new "my-twilio-sid", "my-twilio_token" client.account.messages.create to: "counter-party-number", from: "twilio-number", body: "message-body" 

if ruby isn't thing, have libraries in php, python, c#, java , node. plus bunch more our community.

then counter-party received sms, , replies. need use from number (the number of person sending message) figure out send - original user - looking session in database.

twiml only

the same thing can achieved using twiml. when create twiml response incoming sms, need identify message should sent to, before. produce twiml using attributes on <message> verb (i'll use php time):

<response>   <message to="<?php echo $message_to; ?>" from="<?php echo $twilio_number; ">     <?php echo $message_body ?>   </message> </response> 

that send message on counter party, don't need make api call.

hope helps!
