Summary

This interactive board application receives SMS, MMS, and WhatsApp messages, saves them in a database using Airtable, and displays them on a website. The project uses Node.js Express, ngrok, and the Vonage API to receive incoming messages. It also includes a blocklist mechanism for filtering unwanted messages based on specific criteria. The application allows users to create new users, save incoming messages, update message statuses, and perform CRUD operations using Airtable. After setting up the project, users can test it out by sending an SMS or MMS message, changing the status in Airtable, and viewing the updated message on the website. The application is built with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Express.js, making it a comprehensive example of how to create an interactive board using these technologies.
