Twilio bot

Problem:

I live in an apartment building and I kept missing calls from my building door buzzer -- therefore I was missing out on Toby’s treats and upsetting delivery people.

Solution:

In comes Twilio’s developer tools.

Materials:

- A Twilio account with a phone number

- An apartment buzzer

Now whenever friends visit or delivery people need to come into my building, my buzzer bot will automatically let them in and I’ll receive an SMS that lets me know my bot opened the door for someone.
