Integrating Twilio For SMS

Magentrix allows for integration with Twilio in order to send SMS messages. To configure it complete the following steps:

1. Login as an Administrator, then navigate to Setup > Extend > Connected Apps.

2. Click New to create a new Connected App. In the configuration wizard set the following:

   1. Integration Type "API Provider"

   2. Authentication Type “Basic”

   3. Authorization Information:

      • Name: Twilio
      • Service URL: https://api.twilio.com/
      • Username: <your Twilio Account SID>
      • Password: <your Twilio Auth Token>
      • Security Token: <your Active Phone Number>
   4. Click Save.

Note: You may obtain the account API credentials in your Twilio account General Settings. The phone number can be found in the Active Numbers. You may need to create a number. The security token formatting is very strict, so you must use the exact format Twilio provides.

Example:

+16465550000

Once the Connected App is configured you can call these methods in your code as provided below.

Messaging.Twilio twilio = new Messaging.Twilio("Twilio");
//Twilio is the name of the Connected App you have created
var response = twilio.SendSMS("to phone", "your message");
OR
var response = twilio.SendSMS("from phone", "to phone", "your message");
OR
var response = twilio.SendSMS(new { From="", To:"", Body="your message"  });
