# SMS integration with Twilio
## The Workflow
1. Your IoT device sends an outgoing message
2. The message is captured by the webhook (defined in Monogoto integration)
3. The webhook is defined in Twilio as a service with a function that triggers SMS send to any device
## 1. Use Twilio Functions for the Webhook
Twilio Functions is a serverless environment that allows you to write code to process incoming webhooks without hosting your own server.
### **Steps:**
1. Log in to your Twilio account.
2. Upgrade your account (to send SMS to private numbers - it's mandatory)
3. Navigate to Functions & Assets > Services.
4. Create a new service and add new Function within it.
5\. Add function (press on add and edit the name of the path)
6. It will generate a default code. Overwrite it with the following code for the Function:
```
exports.handler = async function (context, event, callback) {
const client = context.getTwilioClient();
// Your mobile number and Twilio phone number
const yourMobileNumber = '+1234567890'; // Replace with your mobile number
const twilioNumber = '+1987654321'; // Replace with your Twilio number
try {
// Log the incoming webhook data
console.log('Received webhook:', event);
// Forward the message to your mobile number
const message = await client.messages.create({
body: `IoT Alert: ${event.text || 'No message received'}`,
from: twilioNumber,
to: yourMobileNumber,
});
console.log(`Message sent: ${message.sid}`);
callback(null, 'Message forwarded successfully!');
} catch (error) {
console.error('Error forwarding message:', error);
callback(error);
}
};
```
#### Modify the MSISDNs
Destination MSISDN:
```
const yourMobileNumber = '+972542205056'; // Replace with your mobile number
```
From MSISDN (must be a Twillio number - look in your account for your number) - you can find it in the account dashboard.
```
const twilioNumber = '+12405234667'; // Replace with your Twilio number
```
7. Make sure that your function is globally available - tap on the lock icon and modify from protected to global.
8. Save & Deploy the Function and note the generated URL.
***
## 2. Validate that your destination number is allowed by setting the geolocation permission in your account
## 3. Point Your Webhook to the Twilio Function
Press on "copy URL" to get your Twilio URL - should be like: `https://sendsms-6806.twil.io/sendSMS`
Use this webhook URL in Monogoto hub webhook integration
