A really basic RPGLE service program to send a text with the Twilio SMS API.
This is my introduction to making service programs, so its probably not great. Originally I was going to submit this to the Twilio Hackathon at DEV, but I decided I would just keep this as a small learning project instead.
The service program has two procedures, sendSms and sendSmsVerbose.
- sendSms accepts 'simple' parms and returns an error code.
- sendSmsVerbose accepts a request data structure and returns the response as a data structure.
Additionally, each procedure logs the Twilio request/response to sql/sms_log.sql. The service program is really only a wrapper over top of a stored procedure I wrote, sql/send_sms.sql.
- Setup Twilio account and a Twilio phone number - https://www.twilio.com/
- Connect to IBMi via SSH -
ssh USER@YOUR400 - Clone project -
git clone https://github.com/barrettotte/RPGLE-Twilio.git - Navigate to project -
cd RPGLE-Twilio - Give permissions to build script -
chmod u+x build.sh - Run build script -
./build.sh - The build script will create the following
- A Library named TWILIO to hold all of the Twilio objects
- A Log table for logging SMS requests - sms_log
- A simplified view over the log table -> sms_log_v
- A stored procedure to call Twilio SMS API -> send_sms
- An RPGLE service program to call Twilio SMS API ->
ctl-opt bnddir('TWILIO/TWILIO') actgrp(*new);
- Example call in example/src/testtwilio.sqlrpgle
- give permissions to build script and build project -
chmod u+x build.sh & ./build.sh - git push -
git -c http.sslVerify=false push origin master
