Looking forward to your submissions. Happy coding!
Hi @anthonyjdella, I wanted to participate but Twilio blocked my account without any explanation long time ago, and support didn't help/explain anything.
my email: serafimsanvol@gmail.com
@serafimsanvol Sorry about that, I'll contact support to fix the issue.
Thanks, @anthonyjdella!
@serafimsanvol Could you please create a support ticket? If you could, please attach a screenshot and any info about what steps you took until you reached the error. Once you've done that I've escalated this to support and they'll be able to help.
@anthonyjdella, for now, it magically started working again, I wonder what happened :)
Thanks
Great news, good luck with the challenge!
Hi @anthonyjdella Does an API service count? Or do I need to build a full app that has a frontend?
That counts, so you can build an app without a frontend if you'd like.
where to enter the promo code, I signed up with gmail but dont see any options to use the promo code under Billing tab.
@ashiqsultan There are 2 ways to use a promo code:
For 1, twilio.com/console/billing -> Upgrade -> Fill in your information -> Fund Account -> Promo Code tab
For 2, go to twilio.com/console/billing -> Billing Overview -> Add Funds -> Promo Code tab
@anthony. I would like to clarify to know how much trial do we have while using Twilio for learning
Hi @birusha when you sign up for a Trial account you will be given $15 of trial credits.
Additionally, use the promo code
twilio-ai-devto-anrnpfor an additional $20 of credits.@anthonyjdella
Thank you so much
Is it possible to change the WhatsApp join code name!! I'm not able to find anything related to that
Hi @anthonyjdella, I'm having issues upgrading my Twilio account with the promo code provided. It says the code has expired. please help
Hi @thatcoolguy, please try the promo code that's currently listed on the post. Thanks!
It doesn't work actually. I tried multiple other promos mentioned in discussions as well.
Any help appreciated @anthonyjdella
Have you tried the latest promo code on the post?
Hi @anthonyjdella Given promo codes are not working. It is saying code expired.
Hi @thegeekyamit could you try this promo-code:
twilio-ai-devto-6099i. They are rotated every day.Thanks alot. :D
hi Anthony, im building an app but continually receive a CORS error
Dear Anthony,
I am trying to use the promo code "twilio-ai-devto-anrnp". But it gives me the error "twilio-ai-devto-anrnp cannot be used on your account.". Can you please help.
Thank you
@ketanrajpal Please try with a new code:
twilio-ai-devto-cc4f4I tried but it's the same.
@anthonyjdella it says code is expired. I tried both codes.
Can you try code
twilio-ai-devto-b24we?This also not working.
@jess this worked for me. Thanks!!
@ketanrajpal can you try
twilio-ai-devto-6099i?It says, the code has expired.
Hi @ketanrajpal, please try the promo code that's currently listed on the post. Thanks!
I tried it, it says "twilio-ai-devto-9opgh cannot be used on your account."
@ketanrajpal let's debug that, could you reach out to me on LinkedIn or X/Twitter..
@anthonyjdella can we make application which belong to two or more categories
@shreya111111 Yes you can. There will be a section on the template that asks which categories your project may qualify for - be sure to mention all of them!
hey @anthonyjdella , it says promo expired
twilio-ai-devto-cc4f4
Can you try code
twilio-ai-devto-b24we?Apparently this code has expired as well. Any other option?
@ra_jeeves can you please try that one again or
twilio-ai-devto-6099i?The new code shared now (
6099i), worked fine. Thanks @jess@jess This code is also expired
@1995yogeshsharma Could you give it another try? Thank you.
worked now, thanks @rishabk7 !
@rishabk7 Deleted my previous comment as the code in the main post worked. And I've refreshed the page many times to confirm that the upgrade is done.
But I've a question related to programmatic voice. Tried buying a local number for India and it seems that it is not possible to do so. So how do I test phone calls receiving? Making a call to the US number is not feasible as the operator charges are quite high. Is there a simpler way to do this?
quick question do we have to integrate ai with twilio or ai should be part of application with the usage of twilio @anthonyjdella
@shreya111111 Either works!
Hi builders, I'm a DevEvangelist here at Twilio.
If you need any support with this challenge feel free to tag me.
Can't wait to see what you build!
I am confused about WhatsApp send receive from Twilio UI I am able to do send receive but I want to configure AI into it where I can integrate that function for WhatsApp, but I'm not able to find it.
Hi @chintanonweb how are do you have your application set up? You can add some AI API calls into your application for example.
why is it asking me identity government card?
@sweta_kangurisonulkar_ From which region are you registering from? Depending on your country, we may ask for an ID to verify the individual. This is to help build an ecosystem with less fraud and spam messages.
Excited about this one!
Good luck!
Good luck everyone!
Just finished my submission 🥳
@anthonyjdella, I do have some product feedback. When trying out Twilio Functions, I noticed that the max length of environment variables is set to 255 characters. I was using Appwrite Databases as a part of my project, and the API keys happened to be 256 characters in length. This made it somewhat challenging to use environment variables for that purpose.
@adityaoberai Thank you for the feedback, that is good point.
Cheers 🙌
@adityaoberai Thanks for the feedback, we'll alert our product team and try to get this on the roadmap.
Awesome, thank you :)
Exciting
Good Luck Developers
Sounds awesome. 💥🚀🚀. God Speed to all participants
LET'S GOOOOOOO

Hello,
Good luck to everyone participating in the Twilio Challenge! 🪄🤖🙂
Looking forward to the great ideas out there! 🌟💡
hey @anthonyjdella I was kinda building react app using twilio but somehow I could not login after few hours of inactivity Is there any way to resolve this issue I already generated support ticket but they fwded it to another team.
Also @anthonyjdella can we extend the deadline for submission cuz ig many people are facing same issue as myself.
Could you please send me your Account SID, error, and email address to me at adellavecchia@twilio.com ?
I can flag this to our support team.
Oh I got it resolved by support team Ig I had made two accounts before and for this contest created third one so they kinda raised security issue but I gave them my details and support team was quite helpful and I submitted my project today. Still thanks for helping out :) Anthony
Can anyone share some sample ideas to build ?
"Build on top of existing twilio project", What does it mean ? To use Twilio API and add AI features to it ?
cc: @anthonyjdella @rishabk7
So that means, if you already have a Twilio project that you built in past, add AI functionality to it, if applicable. Hope that helps.
ohh okay, that helps. Thanks
If possible, Can you share some sample ideas to build ?
@devananth For inspiration, our developer blog has a lot of fun projects. Also, if you're in the US, we have 2 upcoming holidays which you could use for inspiration.
Thanks, will checkout the blogs.
Hello! I tried a few of the codes shared throughout the comments but they're all expired..

It should work, could you give it another try, thank you.
twilio-ai-devto-6099iThat worked! Thank you

Hi @anthonyjdella . Is it possible to configure a Whatsapp number to call a webhook URL? In this doc, the example is for a phone number. I tried replacing the phone number with the WhatsApp number and Twilio CLI sent back a 400 response.
@bytrangle Yes, I believe this is the doc you are looking for.
Hello Twilio team @anthonyjdella . It seems like the promo code for dev.to participants has expired.
@bytrangle So the promo-codes are rotated daily. Could you try this promo-code:
twilio-ai-devto-6099i@anthonyjdella @rishabk7
I am building a WhatsApp chat bot with Twilio. I have set up, Twilio phone number, messaging service, and content template, and got the WhatsApp business account set up.
I am writing my code in a flask app, when I am trying to send message, I am getting "ERROR: 63024"
I am not really sending any authentication-related message so not sure why my message should get blocked.
Can you point me to the right direction on what I should do?
@anthonyjdella @rishabk7

can we not make a gather request action to a localhost route?
Hi @dhruvb26 your application is hitting localhost, but you'll need a publicly accessible URL from the Internet. Try to deploy your application or have it tied to a public URL, instead of localhost. One tool I like to use is ngrok, here's a cool guide to help you.
I have tried almost all of the promo codes on this page, but they have all expired. Can I have another valid promo code @anthonyjdella ?
Hi @irensaltali, please try the promo code that's currently listed on the post as they are rotated regularly. Thanks!
Thank you.

Hello @anthonyjdella Does the use *Twilio SendGrid * count? If yes, is there an available webhook that I can use to monitor incoming mails? Thanks in anticipation of your response.

sounds great! thank you for organising

Thank you verry much. 🙏
Quite excited by "making something fun"
Hello team @anthonyjdella and everyone, quick question - are no code/low code solutions allowed? hoping to integrate airtable/zapier based workflow -- but such apps don't provide source code and we directly use api on their platform. write functions. So are such solutions valid?
p.s. some tools allow few additional members on free plan so can add organiser/others as team member.
Can one person be both the 'prompt winner' as well the 'prize category winner'?
Yes, you can can win both the prompt and prize category but that is generally unlikely.
@anthonyjdella the code given here and in comments are not working
I'm gonna win this one
@thepracticaldev, @anthonyjdella This is what we shipped → dev.to/neilblaze/visuspeak--24j ✨ , I hope y'all will love it! Feedbacks are greatly appreciated! 😎
@anthonyjdella @captain0jay

Hello, the twilio-ai-devto-cc4f4 promo has expired
Can you try code
twilio-ai-devto-b24we?Just wanted to double check whether Sendgrid is considered valid too?
@anthonyjdella any feedback on our product? Thanks! :D
Hi @anthonyjdella , can you please help me with activating my SendGrid account? Despite responding to the questions asked, it is still unactivated.
Hi @anthonyjdella can you please help me check this
Does an API service count? Or do I need to build a full app that has a frontend?
There are no restrictions so you can build an app without a frontend if you'd like.
ahh im only seeing this challenge now, good luck all!
Hi @anthonyjdella @rishabk7 the promocode twilio-ai-devto-gutvt has expired
@anthonyjdella , can you please provide today's promocode? All promocodes are seemingly expired.
Hey, please give the current code a try?
@anthonyjdella can we not use Twilio for messaging without getting the number verified first?
You can use the sandbox environment for developing and testing.
It does not require you to get a Twilio Phone Number
@anthonyjdella it seems the promo code keeps expiring. Can you post one that doesn't expire?
How do I join a Team?
Twilio banned my account without any reason. I also emailed them but they don't responding. My email: nazmulislam2322@gmail.com
