![]() ![]() The response data contains an array for all the messages that were sent, with information about their status. It also accepts a callback that gets called when the API request is done. The method takes as parameters 3 strings and an object: the Nexmo number from which to send the SMS, the phone number where to deliver the SMS, the text of the message and options for the SMS encoding. The Nexmo library has a method for sending the SMS with the SMS API, and that’s. ![]() You can find those on the “Getting Started” page in the Nexmo Dashboard. Replace the values in there with your actual API key and secret. Just use the defaults for init, and then install the nexmo Node.js package.Įnter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode The SMS API is the first Nexmo API, and we’ll use it to send an SMS message to your phone number.įirst off, initialize an NPM package, otherwise, older versions of NPM will complain about installing a package without having a package.json first. The Nexmo CLI: npm install -g nexmo-cli.ngrok to make the code on our local machine accessible to the outside world.The code for this tutorial can be found on GitHub & Glitch. You can extend the application we’re building here to reply to incoming SMS messages as well, or to include more complex, interactive elements and give you a head start building autoresponders for your SMS needs. We’ll focus in this article on sending and receiving SMS messages, but if you want to send and receive messages with Facebook Messenger, Viber or Whatsapp, you can do that as well with the Messages API. We’ll then build a Webhook that can receive SMS messages using express. We will first send an SMS with Node.js and the old SMS API (Nexmo’s first API) and then rewrite that code to use the new Messages API to send the same SMS. In this article, you will learn how to send and receive SMS messages with Node.js and Express. Once you get your virtual phone number, you can use the APIs to manage outbound messages (“sending”) and inbound messages (“receiving”). Nexmo has a couple of APIs that allow you to send and receive a high volume of SMS anywhere in the world. If you want me to set up a number for your country, just tell me on Twitter, I'll provision it and update the post here for others to use. If you don't want to follow along but you just want to try it out, I've put my code on Glitch and set up a Nexmo application with a few Nexmo phone numbers for different countries, you can send an SMS message to +442038973497 or +19373652539 and play with the autoresponder. This article originally appeared on the Nexmo blog, but I wanted to add some more content to it especially for the dev.to community. ![]()
