Have you received notifications from a courier or a food delivery service when your package or food arrives? In this difficult time, companies try to engage with their customers in any way possible, and SMS is one of the channels they can add to existing notification channels.
For this online workshop, we are happy to welcome Daizen Ikehara, Developer Evangelist at Twilio. He will introduce Twilio that you can send SMS in a few lines of code and it supports multiple communications channels.
