How to send SMS using Twilio API services

[dhanudjro]

Hi Experts,

Anyone worked in SAP building API with ABAP for using Twilio services to send SMS.

I have Account SID and Token for Twilio account.

Just need to send SMS(Reponse) not required. We have s4 Hana on-premise system.

Please give the steps and code if anyone already did.

I guess you mean using SAP Business Accelerator Hub - Twilio SMS - Messaging API for SMS for communication. It's all documented there.

You should first try with Postman or whatever software to make sure which exact HTTP requests send SMS successfully and then you do the same HTTP requests with ABAP.

It is not Business Accelerator hub, Just normal ABAP code to send SMS using Twilio.

I'm not sure about Business Accelerator hub, if we have it.

I tried using the class cl_http_client=>create_by_url and http_client->send, but not sure how to fill the url in the first method for Twilio services.

I'm trying to test with postman, can you help me the url details, i think i need to use POST for this, as i just need to send SMS. I have the Account SID and Test Auth Token.

You don't need Business Accelerator hub. I was just asking.

There should be all required information at Twilio.

CURL is an easy way (via Cmd or Powershell).

Only after a successful run you can write the ABAP code.

curl -X POST "https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/$TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID/Messages.json"
--data-urlencode "Body=Hello from your Messaging Service$EXCLAMATION_MARK"
--data-urlencode "MessagingServiceSid=MG9752274e9e519418a7406176694466fa"
--data-urlencode "To=+15553332222"
-u $TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID:$TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN

--data-urlencode : to be appended to the URL (i.e. ...Messages.json?Body=Hello...&To=%2B15553332222)

(urlencode of + gives %2B)

-u : user and password (set_authorization)
