This looks great! Let me point you at a couple ways you can simplify the code:

  1. alert.sms(text) and alert.email(text) can take care of the texting and emailing to the script owner. See https://www.webscript.io/documentation#alerts. (This only works for paid accounts, though.)
  2. require 'twilio' makes it easier to use Twilio from Webscript. See, e.g., twilio.call in https://www.webscript.io/examples/flatterist.
