Summary

This summary provides an overview of building a voicemail system using Twilio and Java with Spring Boot. The system allows for answering incoming calls, playing a message when the line is busy or unanswered, recording the caller's message, and sending an SMS notification with a link to listen to the recording. The system consists of three main endpoints: initialAnswer, handleUnansweredCall, and handleRecording, which are handled by the VoicemailHandler class annotated with @RestController. The system also requires configuration to handle real phone calls, including setting up Twilio's webhook for incoming calls and authenticating a Twilio client for sending SMS notifications.
