Twilio is a widely used SMS/text service for sending messages to cell/mobile phones worldwide. For several versions now, FlowWright has supported a step that can send SMS to mobile phones. It's very easy to set up and use, and we show you how to get started below!
Once you sign up with a Twilio subscription for SMS, you will get the following information from Twilio:
- Account SID
- Auth Token
- Registered phone number
Once you have this information from Twilio, you can configure this information in the Status->Config Settings UI as shown below:
Once configured, you are ready to use the Twilio step in the workflow designer. Open a workflow definition and drag the “send SMS” step from the toolbox to the designer canvas.
Click on the step and configure its inputs/properties as shown below:
Enter the receiver's phone number and message, and the step is configured. It's really just as easy as that. Imagine what you can build now you can send SMS messages based on decisions evaluated by the workflow! The possibilities are endless.
