django read mesage
- Import necessary modules:
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.views.decorators.csrf import csrf_exempt
from twilio.twiml.messaging_response import MessagingResponse
- Create a view function with
csrf_exempt
decorator to handle incoming POST requests from Twilio:
@csrf_exempt
def twilio_webhook(request):
- Check if the request method is POST:
if request.method == 'POST':
- Get the message body from the incoming request:
body = request.POST.get('Body', '')
- Define your logic to process the received message (
body
) as needed:
# Your custom logic here
response_message = "Thank you for your message. We'll get back to you soon!"
- Create a Twilio
MessagingResponse
object:
twilio_response = MessagingResponse()
- Add a message to the response with the custom reply:
twilio_response.message(response_message)
- Return the Twilio response as an HTTP response:
return HttpResponse(str(twilio_response))
- If the request method is not POST, return an empty HTTP response:
else:
return HttpResponse()
- Include the URL pattern for this view in your Django project's
urls.py
:
# Example URL configuration
from django.urls import path
from .views import twilio_webhook
urlpatterns = [
path('twilio-webhook/', twilio_webhook, name='twilio_webhook'),
]
- Configure your Twilio phone number to use the webhook URL (
/twilio-webhook/
) for incoming messages.
Note: Ensure you have the required packages installed (twilio
in this case) and configured with your Twilio account credentials.
