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

Hi Sandeep,

While creating account on Twilio, first get a twilio phone number then varify your mobile number from twilio.

And in "Configuration" not in "Subcription" set all twilio details.

Now you will be able to send SMS from Twilio phone number to your mobile number.

Please note : our personel mobile can not be Twilio phone number.

Please let me know if you need any other help related to this.

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.
