Hi All,
Is anyone using a Two-Way messaging solution that they are happy with? I would like to send two-way messaging (via Text, WhatsApp, Web Tool, or whatever). It would be nice to include images and for the solution to log the conversations.

I have used Twilio for one-way texting. Not sure if Twilio supports two-way texting/messaging. Just checking to see if others have found any good options.

TIA,
Steve

I think you have to either built your own or look to a third party solution that you can run yourself.

I suppose you could look into something like Discord and set up your own server (or host it) - they have an API that can be enabled and used to share messages along with an app.

It's also possible to build your own. I have an example in Web Connection that has a chat client using Web Sockets that is very basic but could be extended to persist messages more permanently. The sample app has this here:

• Web Socket Chat Sample

For something more sophisticated you can use a .NET server and SignalR which would be more powerful and scalable.

Thanks Rick, that may be something I can run with!
