Laravel Twilio Channel

A Laravel Notification channel for sending SMS messages with Twilio.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require clevyr/laravel-twilio-channel

Configure an account on Twilio, and then add the following env vars:

TWILIO_SID=
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=
TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER=

Next, publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Clevyr\LaravelTwilioChannel\LaravelTwilioChannelServiceProvider"

This is the contents of the published config file (without descriptive comments):

return [
    'sid' => env('TWILIO_SID'),
    'auth_token' => env('TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN'),
    'phone_number' => env('TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER'),
];

Usage

In your Laravel notifications:

• Implement the TwilioNotification interface
• Add the TwilioChannel to your via return array value
• Build a toTwilio function that returns a TwilioMessage object

<?php

namespace App\Notifications;

use Clevyr\LaravelTwilioChannel\Channels\TwilioChannel;
use Clevyr\LaravelTwilioChannel\Contracts\TwilioNotification;
use Clevyr\LaravelTwilioChannel\Messages\TwilioMessage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notification;

class MyNotification extends Notification implements TwilioNotification {

    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return [TwilioChannel::class];
    }

    /**
     * Get the twilio representation of the notification.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return \Clevyr\LaravelTwilioChannel\Messages\TwilioMessage
     */
    public function toTwilio($notifiable)
    {
        return (new TwilioMessage)
            ->line('Your first line.')
            ->line('A second line, with a break between the last line.');
    }

By default, TwilioChannel will use your notifiable's phone_number field to send an SMS message, which must be in a format such as 8884445555.

Overriding the Notifiable Phone Number Field

To override the phone_number and use a different field, set the twilioPhoneNumberField instance variable in your notifiable class:

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    public $twilioPhoneNumberField = 'primary_phone_number';

    //
}

On-Demand Notifications

If you wish to send an on-demand notification, and not use a notifiable object at all, you can do that:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Notification;

Notification::route('twilio', '5555555555')
    ->notify(new InvoicePaid($invoice));
