Twilio

• Source: https://twilio.com
• Icon Support: No
• Message Format: Text
• Message Limit: 140 Characters per message

Account Setup

To use Twilio, you will need to acquire your Account SID and Auth Token. Both of these are accessible via the Twilio Dashboard.

Those who are using a Trial account will only be able to send test messages (that won't actually send out). You can use URLs such as:

Syntax

Valid syntaxes are as follows:

• twilio://{AccountSID}:{AuthToken}@{FromPhoneNo}/+{PhoneNo}
• twilio://{AccountSID}:{AuthToken}@{FromPhoneNo}/+{PhoneNo1}/+{PhoneNo2}/+{PhoneNoN}

If no ToPhoneNo is specified, then the FromPhoneNo will be messaged instead; hence the following is a valid URL:

• twilio://{AccountSID}:{AuthToken}@{FromPhoneNo}/

Short Codes are also supported but require at least 1 Target PhoneNo

• twilio://{AccountSID}:{AuthToken}@{ShortCode}/+{PhoneNo}
• twilio://{AccountSID}:{AuthToken}@{ShortCode}/+{PhoneNo1}/+{PhoneNo2}/+{PhoneNoN}

Parameter Breakdown

Variable	Required	Description
AccountSID	Yes	The Account SID associated with your Twilio account. This is available to you via the Twilio Dashboard.
AuthToken	Yes	The Auth Token associated with your Twilio account. This is available to you via the Twilio Dashboard.
FromPhoneNo	*No	The Phone Number associated with your Twilio account you wish the SMS message to come from. It must be a number registered with Twilio. As an alternative to the FromPhoneNo, you may provide a ShortCode instead. The phone number MUST include the country codes dialling prefix as well when placed. This field is also very friendly and supports brackets, spaces and hyphens in the event you want to format the number in an easy to read fashion.

Note: If you're using a ShortCode, then at least one PhoneNo MUST be defined.

Note: This notification service does not use the title field; only the body is passed along.
