Description
Enable lightweight poll/RSVP responses via text message. Users send a text or click a magic link in SMS/email to respond to polls (e.g. "1" for Yes, "0" for No).
Phased approach:
- Phase 1 — Magic links (minimal infra): Generate per-participant short token URLs for polls/RSVPs. Send via Mailcow email (free) or any SMS API. Recipient clicks link → minimal no-auth 1-tap response page → updates Automerge doc (rChoices poll or rCal RSVP).
- Phase 2 — Twilio 2-way SMS: Twilio number (~$1/mo), outbound SMS with poll question + response codes, inbound webhook at
POST /api/sms/inbound parses reply digit, phone→DID mapping table to attribute responses.
Key integration points:
- rChoices (
modules/rchoices/) — simple polls (vote/rank/spider)
- rCal (
modules/rcal/) — event RSVPs (attendee fields exist but stub)
- rMinders (
modules/rminders/) — could add SMS as action type for scheduled sends
- Existing webhook pattern — follow payment webhook style (unauthenticated POST endpoints)
Design notes from initial discussion:
- Magic link approach gets 90% of value with minimal new infra
- Twilio costs ~$0.02/round-trip, magic links ~$0.01 outbound only
- Email-based variant is free via existing Mailcow setup
- Need phone→DID mapping if doing 2-way SMS
