When it comes to messaging applications, read receipts are a common feature that allow you to know if your recipient has read your message. For email applications, this feature is very uncommon; however, when sending marketing and especially important emails, it's sometimes vital to know and keep track of whether your recipients have opened and read your email.
When using Twilio SendGrid, keeping track of email engagement is seamless through Event Webhooks. Event Webhooks not only track the delivery status of your emails but also engagement events such as if an email has been opened or a link within an email has been clicked. Pairing open and click tracking for emails with Twilio’s Programmable SMS API will ensure you’re up to date on the status of your important emails.
In this tutorial you’ll learn how to track and send SMS alerts for open and click events for your …

Ahoy, operator. Congratulations on gaining acceptance into the Arcane Academy of API Arts. I’m Professor Hendrik van Hoek, head of House Von Neumann. In House Von Neumann, we believe that code is infinite. We love solving problems of computer science and architecting new software. To do that, students of House Von Neumann must study the foundations of APIs.

Oftentimes organizations use a large number of SaaS applications. And with a large number of user accounts for their employees and customers, it can get difficult for both the end user and the organization—end users have to memorize different credentials for multiple applications and organizations have to support multiple applications, and securley manage thousands of user accounts on each application.
As a result of this, organizations have been using single sign-on (SSO),which allows users to securely sign-on to multiple applications through one credential, and allows organizations to manage all accounts through a single user directory.
Both Twilio and SendGrid (now in GA) allow SSO using Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML 2.0) to integrate your Twilio and SendGrid user authentications with any identity and access management (IAM) platforms that support SAML 2.0.
For this tutorial, you are going to learn how to integrate Twilio and SendGrid accounts, account …

アプリケーション開発におけるメールサービスに関して言えば、Twilio SendGridなどのクラウド側でホストされているメールAPIを使用し、ニーズに合わせて設定をカスタマイズするとよいでしょう。ただし、既存のプラットフォームでSMTP(Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)がすでに有効な場合は、広く普及しているメール標準であるSMTP経由でメールを送信する方法を採用したい場合もあるでしょう。幸いなことに、Twilio SendGridではSMTPリレーサービスを提供していますので、自前のサーバーをセットアップする必要はありません。また、これまでどおり、詳細なメトリクス、分析のトラッキング、優れた配信率の恩恵を受けることができ、X-SMTPAPIヘッダーを介してSendGridの多くの機能も利用できます。
このチュートリアルでは、Node.jsとTwilio SendGridのSMTPリレーを使ってメールを送信する方法について説明します。
When it comes to email services in application development, a hosted email API – such as Twilio SendGrid – is the way to go as it offers ways to customize the setup to your needs. However, you may want to send emails through SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) if it is already on your existing platform and since it is an email standard that's used universally. Luckily, Twilio SendGrid offers an SMTP Relay service without having to set up your own server. You’ll also still have access to in-depth metrics, analytics tracking, increased deliverability rates and even more SendGrid features through the X-SMTPAPI header.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to send out emails through Twilio SendGrid’s SMTP Relay in Node.js.
If you have the option and are still deciding whether to integrate SendGrid through our API or SMTP Relay, we highly recommend using our Web API. SMTP …

OpenAI’s GPT-3 is a language model that offers a multifaceted “text in, text out” interface that can be applied to virtually any task. It can produce code, stories, recipes, and more. The engine is capable of doing anything - it can even do your homework for you! OpenAI's GPT-3 engine is also a remarkable tool for chatbots since its output text is indistinguishable from human text. A fitting integration with this is Discord chatbots.
In recent years, Discord has become the central messaging platform for communities especially with the help of Discord bots. Through Discords extensive API, developers are able to build robust bots that are capable of various actions such as automating tasks and chatting with users.
With the gaining traction of both of these technologies, I decided to combine them to build an intelligent but fun chatbot.
