We love text.
And as big fans of texting, Smart Chicago has had Twilio as part of our offerings for civic developers since the say we started the program. We’ve recently expanded our partnership with Twilio, and their local developer relations guru, Greg Bagues, to offer Twilio as a separate service through Smart Chicago. Twilio is a great product that makes it easy to create apps that can make and receive both calls and texts.
We use it in our own products:
- Chicago Early Learning
- Illinois Sex Help App
- ACA Outreach App
We are also a customer of Textizen, which uses Twilio, including around the Creative Chicago Expo. Civic software developers like Chris Gansen use it to power apps like HealthNearMe.
Like we said, we’re big fans of texting. If you’re new to Twilio, we’ve put together a how-to post of how the app works.
If you’re a civic developer and are interested in using Twilio for your app, please fill out the form below.
