Hi,
Lots of message apps in use today (WhatsApp, Telegram, ...) on phones and mobile devices. There is "WhatsAPI" [1] - but my understanding is that it was closed for legal/security reasons. There are other solutions like Telegram that also have an API [2].
What options do we have in Pharo these days:
- to send messages from Pharo to a phone - receive messages from an app to control a Pharo image remotely from a phone or communicate
For a prospect we had some months ago I played with Twilio (https://www.twilio.com/). We had to send SMSs and make calls with "options". I performed a few tests using its REST interface with Curl, and it is pretty straightforward. It wouldn't be hard to implement a REST client directly in Pharo, as we already have for services like Mandrill. Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo
