okta-twilify v2.1.1

okta-twilify

Okta is the biggest and best-est API service for handling user identity, authentication, authorization, password reset, multi-factor authentication, and just about involving user data.

Many people use Okta to store user accounts for their companies and business projects.

Twilio is the best and most popular API service for communications: sending and receiving SMS messages, faxes, phone calls, and all sorts of other communications-related stuff.

If you happen to be using Okta to store employee accounts for your business, twilify will take your business to a whole new level.

By downloading and running this tool in a cron-like fashion, you'll be able to automatically assign each employee at your company a dedicated company phone number.

These phone numbers can be in an area code (US only right now) that you specify, and will forward phone calls, text messages, and faxes through to each individual employee as if it was their own.

twilify provides a simple, inexpensive (Twilio costs pennies), and automated way to manage a business phone system without servers.

Installation

You can install twilify via npm, the Node package manager. twilify runs on Node 10 and above. It may work on older releases but no promises.

$ npm install okta-twilify

I suggest running twilify --init to get started in interactive mode. By running this command you'll be prompted for all the information the program needs to run, and a new config file will be created for you at ~/.config/twilify/config.json which will hold your settings.

Once this config file has been created you can run twilify without any additional parameters and it will retrieve the stored settings from the config file to work.
