I need the message to pop up on his cell phone just in case he is not at the computer. Slack is probably a good idea. Of course we have an internal database and he can look at text messages through our web application too. But these are not

I just talked to Greg, he said something that might help would be to add "FWD: " before the forwarded message. Or possibly "Forwarded from XXX.XXX.XXXX: " I can confirm that my system did forward the message without any

Yes or they could have just blocked the messaged before it hit my system. They are the ones that originally allowed the message to get to me. Then when I process it, they suspend my account.

This is not quite right. We aren't sending the messaged from the original number. As far as I know, that isn't really possible because we don't "own" that original number. The business case of relaying inbound text

I just checked out google vision and it is the only online demo I was able to get to read handwritten text. Had maybe a 60-70% success rate for poorly written handwriting. And more like 85%-90% with good handwriting. Really cool.

What does tightening the funnel mean in this context? The user base is people who own small mobile auto detailing businesses. So pretty specific. I imagine most of these companies will be way too small to have an IT department restricting t

That's a really good idea since it does require sign up. Thank so much for this suggestion. I was actually planning on calling them on the phone if they put their phone number in the sign up form. Its a boutique sort of app. Should end

I actually do use an el already in the DOM. To be honest, I do it that way because the code looks cleaner and is easier for me to understand that way, I didn't know it was faster. The only caveat I've found with that way is that i
