It’s called Full Send SMS and I’m pretty excited about it.īefore I get too far along in explaining my app, I want to give a big thanks to Nick Funnell, Shanan Sussman, Bharat Murali, and Jingming Niu, who traveled out to Denver to teach the Bootcamp, who caught my syntax errors, and helped ensure a functioning app.

I’m pleased to share that I’ve built an app that sends users an SMS message with a link to the latest Full Send blog post. So when this Twilio Bootcamp was recently offered at my home office in Denver, I thought this would be a great opportunity to build something for the blog program here at Twilio SendGrid. Twilio Bootcamp provides a fleet of engineers to explain and empower any employee, no matter their background, to build their apps every step of the way. That seemed a bit bonkers to me…before I heard about Twilio Bootcamp. But sitting down and programming an application and then sharing it with others? Whoa whoa, slow down there. The inner journalist in me loves picking up diverse, technical concepts and understanding these topics at a conversational scale.

One of those traditions is building an app on the Twilio platform, demoing it in front of the company, and receiving one of those coveted red track jackets in return.Īs a content marketer, the idea of building an app didn’t seem accessible for somebody like me who spent college and career focused on the English language and not JavaScript, Python, or PHP. In case you missed it, SendGrid recently joined forces with Twilio, and the stoke level around the office is high as we start to acclimate and learn more about Twilio’s powerful product offerings, as well as their internal employee traditions.
