Display Incoming Calls in Real-Time Using Twilio Sync and Laravel
Display incoming calls in real-time using Twilio Sync and Laravel by creating a dashboard that updates dynamically whenever a call is placed to your Twilio phone number. The application uses the Twilio Sync API to synchronize data across mobile apps and websites, enabling real-time collaboration software such as Google Docs. A VoiceController handles incoming voice calls, generating an Access Token for the Twilio SDK on the client side, while adding routes for handling requests from Twilio. The frontend code builds a dashboard with an HTML table that displays call details in real-time using jQuery and the Twilio Sync SDK. Using Laravel Mix, the runtime version of the frontend code is built, and ngrok is used to expose the application to the internet, allowing Twilio to send Webhook notifications.
