Twilio WhatsApp

Send WhatsApp messages.

The Twilio WhatsApp Data Connector uses Twilio's Messaging API to send WhatsApp messages.

WhatsApp messages must be pre-configured in your Twilio Dashboard and must be sent from a phone number designated as a WhatsApp sender.

This Data Connector extends the functionality of the Twilio Data Connector.

Once this and the Twilio Data Connector have been installed and added to a Form, you can access this Data Connector in the Form's server event scripts using: connectors.verjio.twilio.

twilio.sendWhatsApp sends a WhatsApp message from one of your Twilio WhatsApp designated phone numbers.
twilio.content.createWhatsAppAuthenticationTemplate create a template to deliver one-time passwords with a copy code button.
twilio.content.createWhatsAppCardTemplate create a template that contains a header, a message, a footer and any number of action buttons.

Code Example:

// Create the content. 
//  Note that in practice, Content Templates need approval before it can be used for WhatsApp messaging.
//  See twilio.content.submitContentForApproval in the Twilio Data Connector
//    documentation for more information.
const content_sid = connectors.verjio.twilio.content.createTextTemplate(
    'happy_birthday',
    'Happy birthday {{1}}! Why not celebrate with some ice cream?',
    { 1: 'first_name' } );

// Send a WhatsApp message
connectors.verjio.twilio.sendWhatsApp(
    connectors.verjio.twilio.helpers.formatPhoneNumber('+441234567890'),
    content_sid,
    { 1: 'Fred' },
    <your Messaging Service id> );
