Send an SMS with Twilio in Node.js

This is an example of how to send an SMS. To run this script you should:

1. Download the index.js and package.json files
2. Install the dependencies with npm install
3. Get your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token from your Twilio console (sign up for a free account if you don't already have one)
4. Get a Twilio number that can send SMS
5. Set the credentials and other variables in the environment and run the script:

TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=ACXXXX \
  TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=abc123 \
  TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER=+12345678 \
  TO_PHONE_NUMBER=YOUR_PHONE_NUMBER \
  node index.js

Alternatively, you can replace the calls to process.env with your variables.

Run the script and you will receive a new SMS message.

index.js

const twilio = require("twilio");
const client = twilio(
  process.env.TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID,
  process.env.TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN
);

function sendSMS(from, to, body) {
  client.messages
    .create({ from, to, body })
    .then((message) => {
      console.log(
        `SMS message sent from ${from} to ${to}. Message SID: ${message.sid}`
      );
    })
    .catch((error) => {
      console.error(error);
    });
}

sendSMS(
  process.env.TWILIO_PHONE_NUMBER,
  process.env.TO_PHONE_NUMBER,
  "This is an SMS notification!"
);
