Twilio Incoming Message - asp.net-mvc

Question

I am unable to get the incoming message, and my response is not being sent back to the person
I have the following set up in SmsController
using System;
using System.Net.Mail;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Twilio;
using Twilio.Rest.Api.V2010.Account;
using Twilio.Types;
using Twilio.AspNet.Common;
using Twilio.TwiML;
using Twilio.AspNet.Mvc;
using Chat.Models;
public class SmsController : TwilioController
{
[HttpPost]
public TwiMLResult ReceiveSms(SmsRequest incomingMessage)
{
try
{
Applicant applicant = new Applicant();
string Phone = incomingMessage.From;
string UserID = applicant.GetUserIDByTelephone(Phone);
string MgrName = applicant.GetMessageSender(UserID);
string ApplicantName = applicant.GetName(UserID);
//Get the Message and the MessageID
string Body = incomingMessage.Body;
string MessageSid = incomingMessage.SmsSid;
//Save incoming message in the database
applicant.IncomingMessage(UserID, Body, MessageSid);
//Send applicant a message acknowledging that the text was received.
var response = new MessagingResponse();
response.Message("Thank you for your response. We will respond to your message shortly.");
//Get information on the manager
Manager manager = new Manager();
string MgrID = manager.GetMgrID(MgrName);
string email = manager.GetMgrEmail(MgrID);
bool notify = manager.Notify(MgrID);
//Send the email notification if manager set to receive notification.
if (notify)
{
SendEmail(email, ApplicantName, Body);
}
return TwiML(response);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Errors.ErrorOccured(ex,"message sent = " + incomingMessage.Body);
MessagingResponse messagingResponse = new MessagingResponse();
messagingResponse.Message("oops.. An error has occured.");
return TwiML(messagingResponse);
}
}
}
I have the Webhook set in Twilio
https://www.myUrl/admin/applicantmanagement/Sms/ReceiveSms
The above is the address for this particular MVC APP.
Yet I am not receiving the response from the user
So that was when I added the try catch as this line is set to send me an email on any errors that occur in the model or controller
Errors.ErrorOccured(ex,"message sent = " + incomingMessage.Body);
The Twilio documentation does not show it like this but I also have my SendSms ActionResult in the same controller, could that be my issue?

Answer 1

I had a bad url. The app was placed in a virtual directory called sms so the actual webhook should have benn
