SMS Microservice

The SMS Provider Microservice is a new microservice that receives messages sent by students through Twilio, a third-party service provider. It processes incoming messages to identify predefined keywords. If a message contains a predefined keyword, the database is updated accordingly. The service also:

• Incorporates multi-tenancy support for handling multiple tenants

• Establishes database interaction for data persistence and retrieval

• Defines an API endpoint to receive third-party software webhook requests

• Processes incoming webhook requests and update the Subscribe to SMS column in the Student database

• Ensures real-time or near-real-time processing for accurate data handling

• Logging and monitoring mechanisms are in place to track message processing and errors
