Request for help: creating an integrated chat system

Hi peeps,

I’m working on a Catalyst programme with @Kayleigh and @gemmacopeland and two of the charities in our cohort have pretty much exactly the same need for a platofrm that will enable them to post text messages to groups of people and individuals on different social networks - the key ones are SMS, WhatsApp and Messenger.

We have come across a number of systems that purport to do this, most of which do loads of other stuff as well which makes them very expensive, or they aren’t ready e.g. https://www.beeper.com/. Beeper is basically the answer from what we can tell but their comms to date don’t give us much confidence so we wondering it might be possible to fork their repo and create something custom that is specifically tailored to their needs.

There is the possibility of getting funding for this if we can demonstrate a reusable use case and it is realistic within the limitations of the funding pot.

This is all built on the Matrix protocol, and I get the impression some people on here have skills / experience in this area.

If so, would you be up for a call in the next week?

Thanks!
