如何使用 Twilio 短信发送自定义参数

Question

Can someone tell me if it'spossible to send custom parameters when sending a SMS with Twilio API?

I'm sending SMS like this:

  var options = new CreateMessageOptions(smsToSend.PhoneNumber)
                        {
                            Body = message,
                            From = new PhoneNumber(twilioNumber),
                            ProvideFeedback = true,
                            StatusCallback = new Uri(callBackUri)
                        };
                        MessageResource.Create(options);

When the SMS is sent, Twilio send a callback to my application controller:

 [HttpPost]
        [AllowAnonymous]
        public TwiMLResult MessageReceive(SmsRequest request)
        {
            //Some business here
            return TwiML(new MessagingResponse());
        }

Problem is, I need to retrieve a custom Id parameter to make different business treatments. Is there a way, when sending the SMS, to pass custom parameters that would be sent back in the Twilio's callback?

Answer 1

There isn't a way to set any custom values, that is called out below. Each outbound SMS is assigned a unique Messaging SID which you could use to keep track of messages.

You can append a URL Query Parameter key/value to your statusCallback URL, which will be sent to your application and could be used for that purpose.
