Direct message reply goes to an application

[stevem12345]

Greetings,

I'm working on an Twitter application which sends direct messages to
some of a user's followers on behalf of that user. I'd like to know if
it is possible for my application to somehow be notified when one of
these followers replies to the message. Is there anyway for these
replies to be sent back to the application instead of (or in addition
to) the user?

Thanks!

Steve

Hi Steve,

It depends on what language you are building this in - but in RoR I would do the following:

Send the Direct Message to the User from your App but on behalf of the sender.

If the User then replies to your app, you would need to pick that message up and then redirect it onto the original sender.

Does that make sense? will need some Db storage I think...

If you need help/assistance, I can offer my services - just email me offlist.

Rgds,

Carl.

Hi Carl,

Thanks for your reply! That makes perfect sense. I wasn't aware that
you could send a message from an application on behalf of a user.

I am building my application with PHP using the Arc90_Service library.
Does anyone have experience sending a message to a user from an
application on behalf of another user?

Thanks again,
Steve
