Reshuffle Twilio Connector

This package is a Reshuffle connector that provides access to the Twilio service. This connector can be used to send SMS and MMS out. It can also trigger your code (through handlers) on incoming messages.

The following example listens to an incoming SMS and responds back to the service:

const { Reshuffle } = require('reshuffle')
const { TwilioConnector } = require('reshuffle-twilio-connector')
const app = new Reshuffle()

// Create w Twilio account in few minutes for free: https://www.twilio.com/
const twilioConnector = new TwilioConnector(app, {
  accountSid: '<accountSid>',
  authToken: '<authToken>',
  twilioNumber: '<twilioNumber>',
})

// Reply to an incoming message on <twilioNumber>
twilioConnector.on({ method: 'POST', path: '/sms' }, (event, app) => {
  const messageReceived = event.req.body.Body
  const fromPhoneNumber = event.req.body.From
  console.log(`New SMS received from ${fromPhoneNumber}: ${messageReceived}`)

  if (messageReceived.includes('test')) {
    event.res.end('test successful')
  } else {
    event.res.end('Thanks for your message')
  }
})

app.start()

Configuration Options:

interface TwilioConnectorConfigOptions {
    accountSid: string
    authToken: string
    opts?: Twilio.TwilioClientOptions
    twilioNumber?: string
}

Connector events

new messages

This event is fired when new messages are delivered to a <twilioNumber>.

For setting up webhooks in Twilio:

go to https://www.twilio.com/console/phone-numbers/incoming
select the phone number you'd like to use
scroll all the way down to messaging
create a new webhook with method and path
save

You can now trigger a handler on incoming messages.

Usage:

twilioConnector.on({method:'POST', path:'/sms'}, (event, app) => {
  console.log(event.req.body)
  // Example of console output for event.req.body:
  // {
  //   ToCountry = "US"
  //   ToState = "ID"
  //   SmsMessageSid = "SM9aca55a393c120f964cc49d91bfec52e"
  //   NumMedia = "0"
  //   ToCity = "DESMET"
  //   FromZip = "85004"
  //   SmsSid = "SM9aca55a393c120f964cc49d91bfec52e"
  //   FromState = "AZ"
  //   SmsStatus = "received"
  //   FromCity = "PHOENIX"
  //   Body = "msg line 1 line 2 line 3"
  //   FromCountry = "US"
  //   To = "+12082685987"
  //   ToZip = "99128"
  //   NumSegments = "1"
  //   MessageSid = "SM9aca55a393c120f964cc49d91bfec52e"
  //   AccountSid = "AC43820350f399443f2ab9a80ce59dc797"
  //   From = "+19282275501"
  //   ApiVersion = "2010-04-01"
  // }

  const messageReceived = event.req.body.Body
  const fromPhoneNumber = event.req.body.From
  console.log(`New SMS received from ${fromPhoneNumber}: ${messageReceived}`)

  if(messageReceived.includes('test')) {
    event.res.end("test successful")
  } else {
    event.res.end("Thanks for your message")
  }
})
