send text message using twilio ruby and html
Question
I need help trying to get the text message to send to the specific number that a user inputs I have my HTML where there is a textbox asking the user to enter a number and I have my ruby code I'm having trouble actually sending the text! I am using Heroku to deploy the app.I can't seem to understand where exactly I need to put each code I have it in index.erb and a ruby file
HTML :
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<style>
input[type="text"] {
width:200px;
display:block;
margin:10px 0;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Please enter a number</h1>
<form action="/send" method="/POST">
<input type="text" name="phone" placeholder="enter a phone number"/>
<input type= "submit" value= "send me text!"
</form>
</body>
</html>
ruby:
require 'ruby gems'
require 'twilio-ruby'
require 'sinatra'
get '/' do
erb :index
end
post '/send' do
to_number = params[:number]
end
account_sid = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'
auth_token = 'YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY'
@client = Twilio::REST::Client.new account_sid, auth_token
@client.account.messages.create({
:from => '+12013409425',
:to => to_number,
:body => 'hey',
})

Add to Gemfile:
gem "twilio-ruby"
Run bundle install
Create config/initializers/twilio.rb within
Twilio.configure do |config|
config.account_sid = ""
config.auth_token = ""
end
Send a message:
def action
client = Twilio::REST::Client.new
client.messages.create(from: ENV['TWILIO_FROM'], to: "+7999808630", body: "Say hello!")
end
First at all you write method="/POST" but it must be method="POST" and next you put your send sms code at wrong place. Try this:
require 'ruby gems'
require 'twilio-ruby'
require 'sinatra'
get '/' do
erb :index
end
post '/send' do
to_number = params[:number]
account_sid = 'DO NOT POST REAL SID :)'
auth_token = 'DO NOT POST REAL TOKEN :)'
@client = Twilio::REST::Client.new account_sid, auth_token
@client.account.messages.create({
:from => '+12013409425',
:to => to_number,
:body => 'hey',
})
end
