sms

Send text messages with Twilio. Easily.

Installation

gem install sms

Or put gem 'sms' in your Gemfile.

Usage

Set the following ENV variables:

• TWILIO_ID: Your Twilio API id token.
• TWILIO_SECRET: Your Twilio API secret token.
• TWILIO_PHONE: One of your Twilio phone numbers.

Then, send some SMS messages:

SMS.text :message => "Hello!", :to => "15558675309"

Calling SMS.text returns true if the message was sent, or false if it wasn’t.

Testing

To run the test suite, put a YAML file with the following keys at ~/.twilio:

• sid: Your Twilio API ID token.
• secret: Your Twilio API secret token.
• from: Twilio phone number to send test message from.
• to: Phone number to send test message to.

This is a bit of a hack. Unfortunately, Twilio doesn’t offer testing credentials.

TODO

• Consolidate YAML/ENV/options – should be able to set all from any method.
• Support loading config directly from arbitrary YAML files.
