Problem-Statement

If you have any client or deal fixing meeting with anyone,then everyone want an website or app that can notify the arrival of the visitor by SMS or Email to the host with information such as Name, Email, Phone Number and Checkin time. And as visitor, everyone want host information with check in and check out time though an registered Email

Not Getting The SMS

API has limit to only 10 sms sending to any number. I have consumed 1 sms for testing and and 1 sms for screenshot purpose, so it have only 8 SMS balance now.

1. Python Flask : Flask is a micro web framework written in Python. It is classified as a microframework because it does not require particular tools or libraries. It has no database abstraction layer, form validation, or any other components where pre-existing third-party libraries provide common functions.

2. SQLAlchemy : SQLAlchemy is an open-source SQL toolkit and object-relational mapper for the Python programming language released under the MIT License
