    "phoneNumber": "+421XXXXXXXXX"
}

Example output:

{
    "messageId": "SMXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"

📝 Environment Variables

List of environment variables used by this cloud function:

  • TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID - Twilio account SID
  • TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN - Twilio auth token
  • TWILIO_SENDER - Sender's phone number from Twilio

ℹ️ Find your Account SID and Auth Token at twilio.com/console.

🚀 Deployment

  1. Clone this repository, and enter this function folder:
$ git clone https://github.com/open-runtimes/examples.git && cd examples
$ cd node/send_sms_with_twilio
  1. Enter this function folder and build the code:
docker run --rm --interactive --tty --volume $PWD:/usr/code openruntimes/node:v2-17.0 sh /usr/local/src/build.sh

As a result, a code.tar.gz file will be generated.

  1. Start the Open Runtime:
docker run -p 3000:3000 -e INTERNAL_RUNTIME_ENTRYPOINT=src/index.js -e INTERNAL_RUNTIME_KEY=secret-key --rm --interactive --tty --volume $PWD/code.tar.gz:/tmp/code.tar.gz:ro openruntimes/node:v2-17.0 sh /usr/local/src/start.sh

Your function is now listening on port 3000, and you can execute it by sending POST request with appropriate authorization headers. To learn more about runtime, you can visit NodeJS runtime README.

📝 Notes

  • This function is designed for use with Appwrite Cloud Functions. You can learn more about it in Appwrite docs.
  • This example is compatible with NodeJS 17.0. Other versions may work but are not guarenteed to work as they haven't been tested.
