⚡ Write a sendMessage() Function using Java

[christyjacob4]

💭 Introduction

Appwrite Functions allow you to extend and customize your Appwrite server functionality by executing your custom code 🤩 You can learn more in our official Appwrite Functions docs.

The backbone of Appwrite Functions is Open Runtimes, an environment for serverless cloud computing. Since all Open Runtime functions are valid Appwrite functions, we are looking for contributors to extend the Open Runtimes Examples repository.

Your task is to implement sendMessage() function using Java. Please make sure to look at existing function examples and use them as a template for your function. This will help you keep the proper structure as well as provide information on how to test the function.

⚡ Function Details

The function must send a message using a specific channel to a receiver. Make sure to introduce function variables as necessary regarding connection to 3rd party services. Supported channels must be Email, SMS, Discord, and Twitter.

Example function payload:

{"type":"SMS","receiver":"+123456789","message":"Programming is fun!"}

Successful function response:

{"success":true}

Error function response:

{"success":false,"message":"Receiver not in correct format."}

🎯 Requirements

• Experience with Appwrite.
• Experience with Java.
• Knowledge to implement sendMessage function.
• Experience with Docker.

✅ Task Summary

• Ask to be assigned to the issue.
• Implement function sendMessage() in Java/ folder.
• Manually execute the newly implemented function to ensure it works.
• Submit a pull request in open-runtimes/examples and include screenshots of successful execution.

I have implemented 3 of the 4 requests.

I have checked that the Discord request works using a private discord server.

However, checking the requests to Mailgun and Twilio is more difficult since I need an account with a token, and it requires credit card details as well.

What should I do about it?

Moreover, the Twitter request requires to generate an Oauth token, which is easiest with the Twitter SDK.

Does it matter which library I choose? Do you have a policy about it?

Here's the list I found:

@zvikfir,

What should I do about it?

You can assume it will work if the keys are correct. Just make sure you add error handling, so there is a helpful error message.

Moreover, the Twitter request requires to generate an Oauth token, which is easiest with the Twitter SDK.

Does it matter which library I choose? Do you have a policy about it?

Official Twitter SDK would be best.
