Net framework quickstart: responding to SMS, incoming message is empty

[BumpaRoy]

I have followed the example to receive a response from an SMS using ASP.Net

I have ngrok installed and working.
My Console has been updated with URL from ngrok with \sms appended
My asp app is running.
I can debug code and get breakpoint in my SMSController class.
But the incomingMessage.Body is Nothing

Using vb.net in my ASP app.

I manually typed over your code and it works fine for me. (share the code instead of screenshots next time 🙏)

Unfortunately, there's nothing else I can look into. I'd suggest checking your ngrok dashboard at http://127.0.0.1:4040/inspect/http and inspect the HTTP requests that Twilio sends to you. Maybe you'll find something odd there to investigate.

First, thank you for the reply.

I looked at the dash board and it is not sending back the body of the message. I am trying to follow the example https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/quickstart/csharp-dotnet-framework#receive-and-reply-to-inbound-sms-messages-with-aspnet-mvc.

All I have set is the Callback URL when sending the SMS message. Everything appears to be "hooked up" correctly as I am receiving the MessageSID and Status, but there is no "Body" property. Should there be?? As I read the example, it appears to be expecting a value for Body property. Do I need to do something to set that property??

Update:

I think I was confusing two examples. It is working now that I send the initial msg from my phone. I was trying to send a message via a program to my twilio phone, then having twilio automatically send me back the status. When I send it by my phone it is working. Thank you.

Ah I see. Yes, the Body property is only for incoming SMS, not for status updates for outgoing SMS. This issue can be closed I think.

Yes.
