Messaging platform

[JayP]

I would like to integrate instant messaging functionality within my Wappler application, do anybody has any experience with this? I don’t want to develop an instant messaging application from scratch, I just wish to integrate said functionality via an API.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best.

Building a Real Time Chat Application

Intro Thanks to the WebSockets and NodeJS integration in Wappler you can build real-time apps. One example of what you can build is a real-time chat app. Sockets provide a real-time bi-directional communication channel between a client and a server.

Getstream and Twilio both have chat api’s you could take a look at.

mgaussie: thank you I will have a close look at Twilio, its functionality looks very comprehensive. Communicating with clients is key for us.

George: I see Wrappler as the glue that ties my web together and helps me integrate diverse modules like Stripe, MySQL, OAuth2, Docker, Nodejs, etc. Building messaging functionality from scratch with Wappler is too time consuming. I prefer to integrate Twilio into Wappler, use its rich and reliable functionality and let Twilio keep the messaging functionality up-to-date.

Best.

I know this is a little off topic, but are these slides you talk about? Is there going to be a virtual Wappler conference?
