class ILoveYouHandler < Lokii::Handler def process reply "I love you too" and complete if message.text.downcase == "i love you" end end |
Lokii was designed to use the gnokii open source phone toolkit, but you can connect Lokii to any number of existing tools. Out of the box it can connect to a database queue for incoming and outgoing messages.
