Re: SMS text messages to a data queue?

[Bradley Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

Buck is right for Twilio.  Im not sure if they have a web hook for received
messages.  If not, you'll just need to poll.  I started looking into this
but lost interest.   This will most likely also require OAuth 2.0
authentication.

For email, GMail (and Office 365) do have APIs that allow you to grab
emails from your account, and also web hooks for when emails are received
(would require  a web server to receive the web hook).  This would also
require OAuth 2.0 authentication.  I've written applications that handles
OAuth 2.0 as well as receiving and parsing emails at
www.bvstools.com/g4g.html for GMail and www.bvstools.com/g4ms.html for
Office 365.

So while it sounds easy or reasonable, there's a lot to it in the
background, especially with the authentication used in web services these
days.  I've done projects with about 15 or 20 different systems that use
OAuth 2.0, and while their concept is fairly similar, they're just
different enough that a one size fits all solution isn't really feasible.
