send sms

[amit]

Hi, new user here.
Just checking out nuBuilder's features and I wonder if it is possible to send SMS from this software? Preferably with Twilio as I have an account. Thank you.

amit,

You asked...

I am not sure.

All I know is, you can't from nuBuilder directly without a 3rd party API.

Hi and welcome!

It's best to do this with PHP, because it won't reveal your credentials.

Add this code in the "After Save" (PHP) event of your form:

Code: Select all

// sms_to and sms_txt are fields of your form, replace them!
sendSMSTwilio("+12685555555","#sms_to#", "#sms_text#"); 

function sendSMSTwilio($from, $to, $body) {   
    $id = "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";  // replace with your Account SID 
    $token = "ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"; // replace with your Auth Token.
    $url = "https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/$id/Messages.json";
    
    $data = array (
        'From' => $from,
        'To' => $to,  
        'Body' => $body
    );                      
    $post = $data;
    $x = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
    curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH, CURLAUTH_BASIC);
    curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$id:$token");
    curl_setopt($x, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $post);
    $y = curl_exec($x);
    curl_close($x);          
    $out = explode('|', $y);         
    nuDebug($out);
}
