Twilio notifications channel for Laravel 5.3+
This package makes it easy to send Twilio notifications with Laravel 5.3.
Contents
Installation
You can install the package via composer:
composer require laravel-notification-channels/twilio
Add the service provider (only required on Laravel 5.4 or lower):
// config/app.php
'providers' => [
...
NotificationChannels\Twilio\TwilioProvider::class,
],
Setting up your Twilio account
Add your Twilio Account SID, Auth Token, and From Number (optional) to your config/services.php
:
// config/services.php
...
'twilio' => [
'username' => env('TWILIO_USERNAME'), // optional when using auth token
'password' => env('TWILIO_PASSWORD'), // optional when using auth token
'auth_token' => env('TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN'), // optional when using username and password
'account_sid' => env('TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID'),
'from' => env('TWILIO_FROM'), // optional
],
...
Usage
Now you can use the channel in your via()
method inside the notification:
use NotificationChannels\Twilio\TwilioChannel;
use NotificationChannels\Twilio\TwilioSmsMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class AccountApproved extends Notification
{
public function via($notifiable)
{
return [TwilioChannel::class];
}
public function toTwilio($notifiable)
{
return (new TwilioSmsMessage())
->content("Your {$notifiable->service} account was approved!");
}
}
You can also send an MMS:
use NotificationChannels\Twilio\TwilioChannel;
use NotificationChannels\Twilio\TwilioMmsMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class AccountApproved extends Notification
{
public function via($notifiable)
{
return [TwilioChannel::class];
}
public function toTwilio($notifiable)
{
return (new TwilioMmsMessage())
->content("Your {$notifiable->service} account was approved!")
->mediaUrl("https://picsum.photos/300");
}
}
Or create a Twilio call:
use NotificationChannels\Twilio\TwilioChannel;
use NotificationChannels\Twilio\TwilioCallMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;
class AccountApproved extends Notification
{
public function via($notifiable)
{
return [TwilioChannel::class];
}
public function toTwilio($notifiable)
{
return (new TwilioCallMessage())
->url("http://example.com/your-twiml-url");
}
}
In order to let your Notification know which phone are you sending/calling to, the channel will look for the phone_number
attribute of the Notifiable model. If you want to override this behaviour, add the routeNotificationForTwilio
method to your Notifiable model.
public function routeNotificationForTwilio()
{
return '+1234567890';
}
