Added Twilio as SMS Provider

[bpmccain]

I have written a very basic implementation of Twilio as an SMS provider.

You can find the code and instructions here:
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-11207

Currently, it only sends. No inbound. Still needs some work, and cleaning up to make it meet CiviCRM standards.

First step on my way to a CiviPhone module using Twilio.

Thanks for this -- I started with your patch and added inbound functionality, as well as improving inbound overall, so that CiviCRM creates new contact records for inbound SMS from unknown mobile numbers.

See new patch in CRM-11299:

Great - thanks for improving it.

Any information on how to install this?

[majortom]

I would still like information as to how to install this. I am quite interested in using this on Drupal 7.22, CiviCRM 4.2.9 but have not been able to decipher its installation. (I would consider installing it under 4.3.0, if it worked there).

Sorry - I've been meaning to get back to you. We've been in the middle of an election until last weekend, and it fell on the backburner. I am just upgrading to 4.3.0 and will reinstall on my own install, and then I'll give you the instructions.

I haven't used the 'new' version yet, so I'll have to relearn myself.

I successfully configured the Twilio extension in 4.3 via the following steps:

1) Prepare your environment for extensions: wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC43/Extensions

2) Install the twilio SMS provider extension: civicrm.org/extensions/twilio-sms-provider

3) Follow the SMS configuration steps as per wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC43/Setting+up+a+SMS+Provider+for+CiviSMS

I am trying to get the Twilio extension working and feeling quite flummoxed.  The instruction page at wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC43/Setting+up+a+SMS+Provider+for+CiviSMS is fairly Clickatell-centered.

Does anyone have enough of a handle on the extension to update the wiki page to include Twilio?  I would love to know what parameters need to be specified, and whether Civi can send a request using the test account, or if you need a paid account just to verify functionality.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Hi,

I send this message to another topic but there is no answer. So maybe I can find solutio9n on this topic. Please help!!!

I tried to add new provider (as extension) based on your extension (twilio) and made some modification on code.

But when I tried to send sms, message of sms part ($message) send to my provider but numbers ( $header['to'] ) does not send to my provider by this code. How can I send mobile phone numbers to my provider?

I am not familiar witp php, but if somebody help me on this issue I appreciate.

My code is here for send function:

Code: [Select]

  function send($recipients, $header, $message, $jobID = NULL) {
    if ($this->_apiType = 'http') {
      list($url, $postData) = $this->formURLPostData("");
      $postData['numaralar'] = $header['to'];
      $postData['mesaj'] = $message;
  $postData['islem'] = "1";
  $postData['baslik'] = "YYYYY";
  $postData['user'] = "YYYYY";
  $postData['pass'] = "YYYYY";
     
      $response = $this->curl($url, $postData);
 
      if (PEAR::isError($response)) {
        return $response;
      }
 
      $send = simplexml_load_string($response['data']);
      $sid = $send->SMSMessage->Sid;
      if (!empty($sid)) {
        $this->createActivity($sid, $message, $header, $jobID);
        return $sid;
      }
      else {
        return PEAR::raiseError($response['data']);
      }
    }
  }
 

Thanks

I am just upgrading to 4.3.0 and will reinstall on my own install, and then I'll give you the instructions.

Actually, I am still running 4.2 on my site. Will the module still work with 4.2? If so, how do I install it? :-)
