Quickstart

You can get hands-on experience with Node-RED and Twilio nodes by deploying them to Heroku. You only need a free account (no credit card required).

Note: The 'Deploy to Heroku' button will not work properly if your browser is removing the Referer HTTP header from the request.

Installation

Prerequisite: You need to have a running Node-RED instance. If you do not have it installed yet, read the Node-RED Getting Started guide.

Install the last released version from the Node-RED dashboard

The easiest way to install Twilio nodes is to use the Manage palette option in the Node-RED menu (in the top right corner of its dashboard). Switch to the Install tab and search for @automat-berlin/node-red-contrib-twilio. There should be only one result. Click the install button next to it.

Installation from the source code

First, clone this repository. Optionally switch to the desired branch.

Next, go to the Node-RED install directory, typically ~/.node-red, and install the cloned package there.

cd ~/.node-red/
npm install <path-to-cloned-repository>

Configuration

You should be aware of how to configure Node-RED (read the docs here).

The following instructions assume that you are using the settings.js file for the configuration (found in the user directory or specified with -s command-line argument).

Set baseUrl for StatusCallback

The base URL will be used to create an absolute StatusCallback URL (read more about callback requests here).

Find the functionGlobalContext object and add the baseUrl property with the base URL of your Node-RED deployment.

    ...
    functionGlobalContext: {
        baseUrl: 'http://example.com'
    },
    ...

Tests

First, go to the repository's main directory and install all dependencies:

npm install

Then to run all tests use this command:

npm test
