This is a simple Ruby app built on Twilio that creates a text message interface for people to check their food stamp EBT card balance (and cash balance for other programs).
The original idea was by @lippytak with influence from @alanjosephwilliams's experience on Code for America's health project ideas repo.
This is a project of CFA's Health Lab Team.
Because we use .env for testing, you'll want to run your tests by running:
foreman run bundle exec rspec spec
The twilio_console.rb file just gets you a quick Ruby prompt with Twilio clients pre-loaded. This is useful for doing manual responses to users. To use this, you will need to set the environment variables specified in that file.
