Integrate Twilio with Microsoft To-Do

Twilio?

Twilio is a cloud-based service that provides programmable voice and messaging capabilities to software developers. It enables developers to use web services to add voice, video, and messaging capabilities to any application.

Microsoft To-Do?

Microsoft To-Do allows users to manage tasks, which can be completed by either themselves or other people assigned to the task. Users are able to organize their tasks into fpders, add due dates, notes, and priorities, and share their tasks with others. After creating a task, users can flag it as important in order to have it appear at the top of the list of tasks. Although Microsoft To-Do does not support reminders, users are able to receive notifications via email and/or phone call.

Integration of Twilio and Microsoft To-Do

In this section, I will first explain how Twilio and Microsoft To-Do are integrated. Next, I will explain the benefits of this integration.

Integration of Twilio and Microsoft To-Do

Twilio allows users to create voice calls from an application with the use of REST APIs. Therefore, Microsoft To-Do is able to send voice calls or text messages using Twilio APIs. By integrating Twilio with Microsoft To-Do, users will be able to send voice calls and text messages to assignees. For example, the host of a meeting could schedule a reminder for attendees to join the meeting using Microsoft To-Do. The host would then be able to send out a Twilio call or text message to the attendees who have not joined the meeting yet. The host could also forward a call from a phone number that has been added to the contact list of their Microsoft account. In addition, Twilio also allows users to send inbound calls by using Voice Request URLs (URLs that can convert incoming phone calls into HTTP requests. Using these Voice Request URLs, Microsoft To-Do is able to handle inbound calls and either connect them to a user or route it to a voice mailbox. Furthermore, if the incoming call is directed towards an existing contact’s phone number saved in the contact list of a Microsoft account, users are able to answer the call using Microsoft To-Do without having to go through the caller ID or answering the call on their mobile phone. Users are also able to send text messages with Twilio. However, they cannot receive text messages from Twilio using Microsoft To-Do due to the fact that there is no API for receiving text messages in the Outlook app.

Benefits of Integration of Twilio and Microsoft To-Do

The integration of Twilio and Microsoft To-Do allows users to communicate with others using voice calls and text messages. Also, users are able to extend the functionality of Microsoft To-Do using Twilio’s webhooks, which allow applications to be notified when specific events occur in a user’s Twilio account. This means that if someone adds someone else as an assignee of a task via a conversation in Microsoft To-Do or if someone moves a task from one fpder to another fpder, then an associated action can be triggered in Twilio. This action could then be used to trigger an SMS or a phone call that was previously set up in Twilio. For example, if two people have been assigned as task assignees for a task in Microsoft To-Do, then moving one of the assignee from one fpder to another fpder could trigger an SMS for the person who is currently in the task fpder that has been moved. As another example, adding someone as an assignee for a task in Microsoft To-Do could trigger an SMS for the person who has been added as an assignee. Along with the benefits explained above, integration between Twilio and Microsoft To-Do also allows users to manage their tasks using voice calls or text messages instead of being confined by the limitations of mobile apps. This makes it easier for people to access their tasks without having to use multiple apps for different purposes. In addition, integration between Twilio and Microsoft To-Do allows users to manage their tasks without having to look at their Outlook app or check their email frequently. Finally, integration between Twilio and Microsoft To-Do helps reduce distractions by allowing users to focus on other tasks while still being able to answer phone calls or text messages using their computer.
