Delegation

I’ve been working on a canvas app to track and manage major IT projects. The app uses a SharePoint list as a datasource. Our executives also use the app and the PowerBI dashboard to review projects that require executive approval in the form of what we call our Change Advisory Board (CAB).

SMS Notification PowerApp with Twilio Integration

SMS Notification PowerApp with Twilio Integration Problem Obayashi has a subscription to an SMS Emergency Notification platform. Access to the platform costs Obayashi approximately $5000 per year even if no messages are ever sent. That’s five thousand to reserve the right to use the platform. I was asked to take a look at different platforms to reduce cost. Solution I built a PowerApp that uses a Twilio connector. We pay for the messages that we use at a rate of $0.0075 per message and $1.00 per month to reserve a local number. This solution saved Obayashi about $4990 in cost.
