This is more about the design/efficiency of the application rather than the syntax – I need to create a process that sends a batch of texts that will be run on a scheduler (automated batches), but I also need to allow an admin to send a batch manually (manual batch) or individual SMS messages (triggered). My initial thought was to build a server-side console application that can be executed with parameters to handle the sending of all texts, but I’m not positive if this would be the best option. I’m a bit worried about conflicts arising with multiple instances of the console app running (which I would obviously need to code for). Any suggestions on the best way to tackle this?
The batches will process one at a time in a loop, which will post the message to the operator (Twilio) and log the message in our database as sent.
It probably depends on your operator. This one has quite a lot of tech samples and docs.
