Usage

To use the messenger module you must first require() it.

Method

Parameters
  • numbers: An array of phone number strings. Supports just one or multiple.
  • message: The body message.
  • subject: The subject message.

var numbers = ["905-454-1234", "905-454-4321", "905-929-1122"];

This method also returns a promise. Use as so to define actions after the user has either canceled or sent the message.

    messenger.send(["905-555-5555", "905-555-4444"], "this is body").then(function(args){
        console.log(args.response); 
        // either a string saying cancelled or sent
        console.log(args.message); 
        // just a string with more detail than response.
        
        /* you can do stuff here.. this happens back 
        in your app after the message window has 
        been dismissed */        
        
    }, function (e) {
        console.log("Error occurred " + e); 
        // e will show a vague error message.
    });
