HTTP based SMS gateway for SMS notifications

[jyotshna]

Hi,

I am trying to use Twilio sandbox user account for SMS notifications
and I am unable to receive SMS notifications after configuring all the
parameters on SMS settings page. Just wondering if any one has used
Twilio Rest API for configuring SMS gateway. Any help is greatly
appreciated.

Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi,

It's the first time I've heard about Twilio, but reading the docs, I think you should configure it like:

• Gateway URL: http://www.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/SMS/Messages
  (replace the {AccountSid})
• SMS User and Password: leave empty
• HTTP(S) Method: leave empty
• SMS Sender ID: your phone number in international format like +31612345678
• SMS Gateway Authentication Method: Request
• SMS Request Data:
  

From=%SENDERID%&To=%TO%&Body=%MESSAGE%

• SMS Data Content Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
• SMS Data Encoding: POST with form data
• SMS Phone Number Format: Plus

Let me know if that works. It would make a nice example for the documentation.

Actually, the docs indicate you should provide your Twilio credentials via Basic Auth, e.g.:  

https://{AccountSid}:{AuthToken}@api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/SMS/Messages

I'm interested to know how this turns out as well.  

Cheers,

You don't have to add the {AccountSid}:{AuthToken}@ to the URL. Instead actually fill in the username and password fields in the configuration and select Basic for the authentication method. That should do it.

Hi MEnno,

I am unable to receive SMS on my device with the below configured
settings on PWM.

sms.userSmsAttribute=telephoneNumber
sms.gatewayURL=https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACxxx/SMS/
Messages.xml
sms.gatewayUser=ACxxx
sms.gatewayPassword=**removed**
sms.gatewayAuthMethod=HTTP
sms.requestData={"":"From\u003d%2B14155992671\u0026To

sms.maxTextLength=160
sms.senderID=+1415xxxx
sms.phoneNumberFormat=PLUS

where ACXX is my Twilio Account ID.

I also see in the logs that the SMS request has been sent but it
doesn't seem to be delivered.

OK, first of all checkout the LATEST svn release... I just fixed some issues with the authentication.

I have it working, basically with the config above, except that is now complains that I have to pay in order to send overseas.... Note that the password is not your normal account password, but  a special authentication token that you can retrieve from your dashboard.

To debug a bit better, set the Response Regular Expressions to ^.*$. This accepts anything, but will log the response from the web service. When you have to running correctly, change it into a proper regex that actually checks the response.

Can you please let me know how to build the war file. I am completely
new to this project and was only deploying .war files until now.

Easy: check out the code (instructions on google code). Go to trunk/pwm/servlet and run "ant". You'll find pwm.war in the build directory. I usually put my existing PwmConfiguration.xml in trunk/pwm/servlet/web/WEB-INF before building.

I have my pwm SMS config set according to the suggestions here, but what happens is the token looks like it's been encoded. The result is I see a bunch of gibberish coming over the SMS gateway:

Sent from your Twilio trial account - Your activation token is H4sIAAAAAAAAAAEQAe_-1fzll9FRfwVD0QIR4tduDwI4DnE_Mwfakk_ZumP vNvKP01i4RSlsSeHH7jx3Q-9i8GZwQ8U-Ke 4:08 PM

Has anyone else run into a similar problem and gotten the token to send as plain text? Setting SMS Data Content Type to anything other than "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" stops messages from being sent, but changing SMS Data Content Encoding doesn't seem to make a difference.

Hi Don,

Go to Settings > Token and select another storage method than "Crypto". Crypto results in those long tokens, for other types, you can select the length, like 6 or 8 characters, which are more likely to fit into a single SMS and can be easily entered by a user. The "Crypto" type is useful for email but definitely not for SMS.

Regards,

Menno
