Send Message

Uses the Twilio API to send an SMS/MMS message.

How it works

The following steps is an example of how the activity works from design time (i.e., the activity dependencies and input/output properties) to run time.

1. Complete the Setup steps.
2. Add the Twilio Scope activity to your project.
3. Add the Send Message activity inside the Twilio Scope activity.
4. Enter values for the From, To, and Body input properties.
5. Run the activity.

Properties

Common

• ContinueOnError - Specifies if the automation should continue even when the activity throws an error. This field only supports Boolean values (True, False). The default value is False. As a result, if the field is blank and an error is thrown, the execution of the project stops. If the value is set to True, the execution of the project continues regardless of any error.
• DisplayName String - The display name of the activity. Enter a String or String variable.

Message

• Body String - The text of the message you want to send. Can be up to 1,600 characters in length. Required if Media is not specified. Enter a String or String variable.
• Media - A list of media (up to 10) to send with the message. Required if Body is not specified. Enter a String[] variable.
  note

  The media size limit is 5MB for supported file types (JPEG, PNG, GIF) and 500KB for other types of accepted media.

  note

  Twilio doesn't allow you to specify both Body and Media for a single message. If both are specified, Media is ignored.

Misc

• Private - If selected, the values of variables and arguments are no longer logged at Verbose level.

Output

• Message Twilio.Message - The message to be sent. Recommended if you plan to use the output data in subsequent activities. Enter a Twilio.Message variable.

Receiver

• To String - The destination phone number to call, in E.164 format, e.g. +15558675310. Enter a String or String variable.

Sender

• From String - The Twilio phone number in E.164 format. Enter a String or String variable.
