How can I create an SMS notification

Submitted by michaelp on Wed, 05/26/2010 - 11:51

I noticed there is a way to set up a phone call to notify a user of an alarm through a customized script.  How can an SMS message be sent instead?

Hi Michael, The Voice Call

Submitted by martinTobias on Fri, 05/28/2010 - 23:42.

Hi Michael,

The Voice Call from the Get Started was done through a Custom Object communicating wth Twilio (www.twilio.com) and calling the user.

I have set us a new Custom object called SMSme which will send out an SMS message based on a phone Number

There is currently no way to do it within ServiceLink/Platform, so Twilio is a great way to demonstrate this feature.

If you'd like, email me and I can show you the code and ademonstration

 

Thanks

 

Works great

Martin,

Thanks for the reply and new object.  I went into the expression rule and modified the custom object name in the action and it worked great.  Is there a way to view this custom object and edit it in the future to craft the appropriate text message details?  I can not view or edit the custom objects and did not see a place in code snippets where the code example is shown so I can try to reproduce this myself as a new object that I can view per my permissions.

Hi Mike,

As you know, we are using Twilio for the SMS and Voice, which requires an account. See tutorial here. The Twilio script can be modified to send an SMS.

There is also a code snippet of a groovy script you can use to send SMS notifications here
