mac-twilio-slate-client-app

Simple tool to use Twilio CLI to make calls from Slate

Following instructions from https://www.twilio.com/docs/voice/client/javascript/quickstart
install node on your system https://nodejs.org/en/download/
restart your terminal or Visual Studio Code
From the Command Line: npm install twilio-cli -g
Note, for me I had to update my windows execution policy to execute "twilio".
- Open Powershell as Administrator
- Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope CurrentUser
From the Command Line: twilio login
- Enter keys and other things from https://www.twilio.com/console/project/settings
From the Command Line: twilio plugins:install @twilio-labs/plugin-serverless
From the Command Line: twilio serverless:init mac-slate-client-app --template="voice-client-javascript"
- Update the name fo your app "mac-slate-client-app" really will be fine, they will annonomize the app for you.
From the Command Line: cd mac-slate-client-app
Open the .env file, and update your password to something unique.
From the Command Line: twilio serverless:deploy
Open your brower to the YOUR-URL.twil.io/admin/index.html
Log in with your unique password, run the setup checks.

Awesome. If all that looks good.

From the Command Line: cd ../
From the Command Line: git clone https://github.com/lloydlentz/mac-twilio-slate-client-app.git
From the Command Line: cd mac-twilio-slate-client-app
From the Command Line: code .
copy .env.sample to .env and update all the relevant bits.
From the Command Line: twilio serverless:deploy

Okay... Now, back into Slate.

From your calling form you need to add some exports.
- Form --> Properties
  - Allow Secure link/login filters
  - Merge Fields
    - Join + Current User - Export "username" - Rename username
    - Subquery - Devices - Filter to phone types - sort by rank - offset=1, rowlimit=1,
      - export field[Type] + literal[" : "] + field["Value"]
      - rename phone1
    - Copy above
      - rename phone1val
      - remove literal and field type
From the Form Design view
- Add an instruction block
  - add the merge fields {{phone1}} and make a call hyperlink.
  - In the URL of your hyperlink put in "https://your-new-app-id.twil.io/index.html?number={{phone1val}}&caller={{username}}"

Give it a whirl.
