Twilio Meteor API bindings

This smart package exposes the official Twilio Meteor API from the node.js npm package: http://twilio.github.io/twilio-node/

This Meteor package is licensed under the MIT license.

This uses version 1.1.4 of the Twilio node.js package and the new meteor 0.6.5.1 npm bindings.

To Install

mrt add moment
mrt add twilio-meteor

moment is required for Twilio date conversion internals.

To get started, replace ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN with your Twilio credentials and use some of the examples below:

####Send an SMS text message

  twilio = Twilio(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN);
  twilio.sendSms({
    to:'+16515556677', // Any number Twilio can deliver to
    from: '+14506667788', // A number you bought from Twilio and can use for outbound communication
    body: 'word to your mother.' // body of the SMS message
  }, function(err, responseData) { //this function is executed when a response is received from Twilio
    if (!err) { // "err" is an error received during the request, if any
      // "responseData" is a JavaScript object containing data received from Twilio.
      // A sample response from sending an SMS message is here (click "JSON" to see how the data appears in JavaScript):
      // http://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest/sending-sms#example-1
      console.log(responseData.from); // outputs "+14506667788"
      console.log(responseData.body); // outputs "word to your mother."
    }
});

####Place a phone call, and respond with TwiML instructions from the given URL

  twilio = Twilio(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN);
  twilio.makeCall({
    to:'+16515556677', // Any number Twilio can call
    from: '+14506667788', // A number you bought from Twilio and can use for outbound communication
    url: 'http://www.example.com/twiml.xml' // A URL that produces an XML document (TwiML) which contains instructions for the call
  }, function(err, responseData) {
    //executed when the call has been initiated.
    console.log(responseData.from); // outputs "+14506667788"
  });

####Loop through a list of SMS messages sent from a given number

  twilio = Twilio(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN);
  twilio.listSms({
    from:'+16512223333'
  }, function (err, responseData) {
    responseData.smsMessages.forEach(function(message) {
        console.log('Message sent on: '+message.dateCreated.toLocaleDateString());
        console.log(message.body);
    });
  });

####Here are a few examples of how to process incoming Voice calls and SMS messages via the Meteor router.

This code is from a production site, feedvenue.com

twilioRawIn is a collection to store the raw input for later.

Meteor.Router.add('/api/twiml/voice', 'POST', function() {
	var rawIn = this.request.body;
	console.log(rawIn);
	if (Object.prototype.toString.call(rawIn) == "[object Object]") {
		twilioRawIn.insert(rawIn);
	}

	var question = {};
	if (rawIn.Body) {
		question.inputQuestion = rawIn.Body;
		question.source = "sms";
	} else if (rawIn.TranscriptionText) {
		question.inputQuestion = rawIn.TranscriptionText;
		question.source = "voicemail";
	} else {
		return;
	}
	question.inputName = rawIn.From;
	    		
	var toOrig = rawIn.To;
	toOrig = toOrig.replace(/\+1/g, "");
	var toPretty = '('+toOrig.substr(0,3)+') '+toOrig.substr(3,3)+'-'+toOrig.substr(6,10);
	var eventDetails = Events.findOne({phone: toPretty});

	if (_.size(eventDetails) == 0) {
		return;
	} else {
		question.slug = eventDetails.slug;
	}

    Meteor.call('questionCreate', question, function(error, res) {

    });

	var xml = '<Response><Say voice="man">Please speak your question after the tone. You may hang up when you\'re finished</Say><Record maxLength="180" transcribe="true" transcribeCallback="https://feedvenue.com/api/twiml/transcribe" /></Response>';
    return [200, {"Content-Type": "text/xml"}, xml];
});
Meteor.Router.add('/api/twiml/sms', 'POST', function() {
	var rawIn = this.request.body;
	if (Object.prototype.toString.call(rawIn) == "[object Object]") {
		twilioRawIn.insert(rawIn);
	}

	var question = {};
	if (rawIn.Body) {
		question.inputQuestion = rawIn.Body;
		question.source = "sms";
	} else if (rawIn.TranscriptionText) {
		question.inputQuestion = rawIn.TranscriptionText;
		question.source = "voicemail";
	} else {
		return;
	}
	question.inputName = rawIn.From;
	    		
	var toOrig = rawIn.To;
	toOrig = toOrig.replace(/\+1/g, "");
	var toPretty = '('+toOrig.substr(0,3)+') '+toOrig.substr(3,3)+'-'+toOrig.substr(6,10);
	var eventDetails = Events.findOne({phone: toPretty});

	if (_.size(eventDetails) == 0) {
		return;
	} else {
		question.slug = eventDetails.slug;
	}

    Meteor.call('questionCreate', question, function(error, res) {

    });

	var xml = '<Response><Sms>Thank you for submitting your question!</Sms></Response>';
    return [200, {"Content-Type": "text/xml"}, xml];
});
Meteor.Router.add('/api/twiml/transcribe', 'POST', function() {
	var rawIn = this.request.body;
	if (Object.prototype.toString.call(rawIn) == "[object Object]") {
		twilioRawIn.insert(rawIn);
	}

	var question = {};
	if (rawIn.Body) {
		question.inputQuestion = rawIn.Body;
		question.source = "sms";
	} else if (rawIn.TranscriptionText) {
		question.inputQuestion = rawIn.TranscriptionText;
		question.source = "voicemail";
	} else {
		return;
	}
	question.inputName = rawIn.From;
	    		
	var toOrig = rawIn.To;
	toOrig = toOrig.replace(/\+1/g, "");
	var toPretty = '('+toOrig.substr(0,3)+') '+toOrig.substr(3,3)+'-'+toOrig.substr(6,10);
	var eventDetails = Events.findOne({phone: toPretty});

	if (_.size(eventDetails) == 0) {
		return;
	} else {
		question.slug = eventDetails.slug;
	}

    Meteor.call('questionCreate', question, function(error, res) {

    });

    return [200, {"Content-Type": "application/json"}, "ok"];
});
