In twilio, I want to send automated sms like “Thanks for contacting us, we will reply to you shortly” to the user when I receive an SMS from the user.
Please let me know how I can do this.
I'm a developer evangelist for Twilio.
Have you checked out the documentation on http://twilio.com? There is a good tutorial on starting with messaging in the quickstart section on sending and receiving messages with Twilio. There are instructions in PHP, Python, Ruby, Java and C# that should be able to get you going.
Let me know if this helps.

How can one create a bot in Flow.xo that listens to twilio messages? In other words can I write a bot in FlowXO to send and receive SMS messages from my twilio account?
Flow.XO allows one to send SMS messages via their twilio integration function, but it only has two functions:
1> Twilio calls
2> Twilio SMS messages
Both these are outward bound, and we can only send messages (calls, or SMS) via twilio from Flow.xo. Can I receive messages in FlowspellingXO from Twilio too? How is this accomplished?
Thanks in anticipation.

I haven't used Flow.XO before, but a quick look through the documentation suggests that this is the guide for you: https://support.flowxo.com/article/152-creating-a-twilio-sms-bot
Going through that process will create a URL that you will apply to your Twilio number or messaging service. That URL is the webhook URL that Twilio will use to send details about incoming messages so that your bot can respond to replies from your user.

I am trying to integrate twilio with the Joy of Texting Pro WP plugin. How do I setup Twilio to send inbound sms to the plugin?
Twilio developer evangelist here.
The documentation for the Joy of Texting Pro has some details on how you setup inbound SMS to the plugin.
You need to log in to your Twilio account and edit the number you are using to receive messages on. You need to enter a URL in the Messaging section for when a message comes in. From what I can tell, you need to use your WordPress application's URL plus ?inbound. e.g https://mywordpresssite.com?inbound
Let me know if that helps at all.

I recommend this guide that was built by the Twilio documentation team on How to Receive and Reply to SMS Messages in C#. It will explain what a webhook is, how to use TwiML and how to use that knowledge together in ASP.NET MVC to receive and respond to SMS messages.
my client has registered to Twilio from US. I am developer and using Twilio service for testing purpose in India. I am sending text message to send One time password(OTP) to a mobile no in India for which DND is activated. I am not able to receive OPT via text message. Help me.

I'm afraid the DND list is the top limitation of Twilio in India right now. You can check the details here.
You could, if you were interested, try using Authy (a different Twilio service) to send OTPs to your users. If they have a smart phone, they can then install the Authy application and generate their OTPs on their devise without the need for an SMS. Check out the Authy documentation for how to get started.

However I cannot verify my Ugandan phone number.
Any ideas on how to programatically send SMS using Twilio in Uganda?
Twilio Developer Evangelist here,
If I understand correctly, your main issue is verifying your number? Contact help#twilio.com and they should be able to help you out with that.
I think all you need is in their blog post about setting up Twilio for Rails. And for the verification of your phone number, you should ask their support.
