Suppose I developed a thingworx application & I am accessing it through mobile as a web page.

This thingworx application has a button & on that button click I want to make a phone call.

How can I do this?

Thanks,

Rupesh

Hi Rupesh, there's an extension on this available on the ThingWorx Marketplace - Twilio -  https://marketplace.thingworx.com/Items/twilio

I think this can help you achieve what you looking for.

Hi Sushant,

I am done with following things:

- Downloaded Twilio extension

- Imported it in Thingworx

- Opened a developer account in Twilio

- Get Twilio Account SID, Twilio Auth Token with mobile number verification

- Then I create a thing based on Twilio thing template.

- Then I set Twilio Phone Number, Account SID &  Auth Token in 'Configuration' of that thing.

Now while testing send SMS functionality I got following error :

What would be the reason of this error?

Thanks,

Rupesh

Rupesh - see my answer to this question about sending push notifications from ThingWorx. It goes into some detail about using the Twilio Thing.
