Discord-SMS bridge

sends discord server messages to a phone via sms.

connects a single number with an entire discord server.

for my friend with windows phone and without regular computer access.

can be easily modified to just a single channel.

• requires a verified account (ie, add a credit card) in heroku
• and a non-trial account (ie, put $20 in and buy a $1/mo phone #) in twilio
• you'll need to keep heroku alive somehow, or else it'll regularly sleep. i'm using python http gets every 15m via a crontask running on an aws free tier, though you could probably host the whole thing on aws free tier.

DON'T make this a public repo or fork it publicly. your twilio and discord secret keys will be publicly exposed (bad)

store them in shell environment variables or use a private repo or don't push this to a public github repo.

usage

• create discord app, make it into a bot, get discord bot token and client ID
• add discord bot to a server you have permissions to via https://discordapp.com/oauth2/authorize?client_id=BOTCLIENTID&scope=bot&permissions=0
• create twilio account, get a number and twilio account sid and auth token
• put these tokens in the corresponding fields in bot.py and webserver.py.
• fill out the rest of the variables in these two files (phone number, bot name, url)
• set up heroku account, install heroku-toolbelt, heroku login
• set up heroku app heroku create discord-sms -s cedar from inside this repo
• set sms url in twilio settings to point to heroku app url (heroku open)
• finally, heroku ps:scale web=1 worker=1
