Hello and welcome to Python powered chat apps with Twilio and sendgrid. I'm Michael Kennedy and I'll be your instructor and guide on this journey.
0:12
We're going to build an amazing Python Web application that integrates with Twilio services, such as WhatsApp and SendGrid. But you might be wondering,
0:22
Why am I in a bakery? I want you to imagine that you're a solo developer at a tech friendly bakery, Cloud
0:29
City cake company and the owners of this bakery have asked you to imagine how you
0:34
might lower the friction of ordering a cake and making sure that we don't make mistakes You know, taking the order of the phone.
0:41
Somebody mispronounces something or we miss here it and then their cake is all messed up They won't be happy. So what they've asked us to do is to use
0:48
some sort of chat applications like WhatsApp that will allow people to come to our website see what we have to offer,
0:55
say, Hey, I'm interested in ordering a cake and start a conversation through chat This chat application should be able to reach back.
1:02
Go find our menu, see what our specials are. See how much our current cake price for different types of combinations.
1:10
All those kinds of things. And even we need to gather up all their information
1:13
like their name and their email address, for them to order the cake so we can send them, say a receipt.
1:20
So they're going to have this entire conversation over at Twilio with periodic integration back into
1:26
our flask application. And when they do confirm that they want to order this cake we're going to receive some kind of notification in our site.
1:33
And we have an admin backend for our bakers to see. Oh, and new orders come in over
1:37
WhatsApp, we better get baken once they bake it and the cake is ready,
1:41
they're going to be able to send a message back to our customer right through that same mechanism, right through WhatsApp and say,
1:47
Ding, your cake is ready. Please come pick it up. We're going to build a real comprehensive Python application that
1:53
you can take and adapt whatever it is you need to build. I think you're really going to enjoy this deep dive into Python. So, Lets get started.
