Twilio SMS

Send SMS messages.

The Twilio SMS Data Connector uses Twilio's Messaging API to send SMS messages.

This Data Connector extends the functionality of the Twilio Data Connector.

Once installed and added to a Form, you can access this Data Connector in the Form's server event scripts using: connectors.verjio.twilio.

twilio.sendSms send an SMS message to a specified phone number.
twilio.getSms retrive details of a sent message.

Code Example:

// Send an SMS to +447551008330 with data from a previously created Content Template, 
//  referenced by a content id, and substituting 'Brian' into its contents.
var sms = connectors.verjio.twilio.sendSms(
    '+441234567890', 
    '<your content id>',
     {1: "Brian"} );

// Check the sending state of the SMS
var response = connectors.verjio.twilio.getSms(sms.sid);
if (response.status === connectors.verjio.twilio.sentStatus.SENT) {
  event.owner.addInfoMessage(`The message was sent ${response.date_sent}`);
}
