如何使用Twilio管理短信对话？

[英]How to manage a SMS conversation with Twilio?

原文 2011-03-26 00:12:32 2 1 php/ twilio

I know how to send and receive SMS in Twilio. 我知道如何在Twilio中发送和接收短信。 What I don't know is how to build a PHP server application to send an SMS message with a question and, in case a SMS response for that question is not received in a specified amount of time (2 minutes or other value), would send a SMS reminder and restart the timer. 我不知道的是如何构建一个PHP服务器应用程序来发送带有问题的SMS消息，如果在指定的时间内（2分钟或其他值）没有收到该问题的SMS响应，发送短信提醒并重启计时器。

Can anyone help me out? 谁能帮我吗？

Any time you want to do something on a schedule, you need to use a scheduler of some sort. 只要您想按计划执行某些操作，就需要使用某种调度程序。 PHP does not have one built in (like the Ruby delayed_job gem ), so you'd need to write a cron job or use something like Moment . PHP没有内置的（如Ruby delayed_job gem ），因此您需要编写一个cron作业或使用像Moment这样的东西。

The workflow would go something like this: 工作流程将是这样的：

Send the initial message using the Twilio REST API 使用Twilio REST API发送初始消息
Log that the message was sent in your app's data store with a timestamp for the time it was sent 记录消息是在应用程序的数据存储中发送的，其中包含发送时间的时间戳
When a response is received, mark the log entry as completed 收到响应后，将日志条目标记为已完成
Use the scheduler to run a process every minute or so looking for unanswered messages 使用调度程序每分钟运行一个进程，查找未答复的消息
If your scheduled process finds a message that has 'expired', mark it as expired and re-send the message with a new log entry. 如果您的预定进程发现消息已“过期”，请将其标记为已过期，并使用新的日志条目重新发送该消息。
