I am looking at building a app that will be 1 platform for all the inboxes I have including social media apps, whatsapp, email and SMS. I don’t even know where to start? Any help with this? ---

While I wouldn’t say this is impossible, it might be a lot of work. For an easy start assuming you don’t need to reply at all, the scope would already include: - Porting your number to a service like Twilio so that you can pull new text messages to the app. - Use an automation service like [Make.com](http://Make.com) to add triggers for new text messages and emails, and write them as new rows in your app database. - Display those inside the app, build your frontend. I have no idea if Facebook Messenger and Twitter provide APIs for text messages in the same way Twilio/email services do, but that’s the general idea. If you need to reply from the app, another flow in the reverse way would have to be done: take input from the app, call the API of the right service to send those messages. ---
