Use the Twilio SMS Connector
Add the twilio_sms connector on your Zenaton dashboard,
enter the credentials and authorize Zenaton to call the twilio_sms API from your workflows.
Then add code snippet and URL path to your workflow.
const { workflow } = require("zenaton")
module.exports = workflow("MyWorkflow", function* () {
const twilio_sms = this.connector(
'twilio_sms',
'connector-id')
const response = yield twilio_sms.get('path_to_API')
const params = {body: {param1: '...'}}
yield twilio_sms.post('path_to_API', params)
})The Zenaton Engine
We handle the complexity of orchestrating Twilio SMS API calls and related logic in your code.
Out of the Box API Call
Add the connector to your Zenaton workflow and we manage the authentication, oauth1 and oauth2 flow including token refreshing.
Automatic Retries & Alerting
If your Twilio SMS API call fails, it can automatically be retried and you will receive an alert with error details.
Monitoring and Troubleshooting
View the Zenaton dashboard for execution history, scheduled tasks, errors and logs or retry failed Twilio SMS API calls.
Integrate Twilio SMS into your application logic
The Zenaton connector is a pre-configured task for calling the Twilio SMS API inside your workflow with one line of code. Build custom integration logic by adding a workflow directly into your application using the functions in the Zenaton SDK.
// The Zenaton engine orchestrates twilio sms API calls and related logic via the Zenaton agent. Every step is executed at the right moment on your servers and monitored on Zenaton dashboard.
const { workflow } = require("zenaton");
// twilio sms authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("ParallelWorkflow", function* () {
const twilio sms = this.connector(
'twilio sms',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
// execute parallel tasks handled automatically by the Zenaton engine
const [a, b] = yield this.run.task(["TaskA"],["TaskB"]);
if (a > b) {
const response = yield twilio sms.get('path_to_API');
} else {
yield this.run.task('TaskD');
}
});
const { workflow } = require("zenaton");
// twilio sms authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("AsynchronousWorkflow", function* () {
const twilio sms = this.connector(
'twilio sms',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
this.run.task('TaskA');
this.twilio sms.post('path_to_API');
yield run.task('TaskB');
yield this.run.task('TaskD');
});
// Tasks can be automatically (or manually) retried and executions are displayed in real-time on the Zenaton dashboard.
const { workflow, duration } = require("zenaton");
// twilio sms authentification on Zenaton
module.exports = workflow("WaitWorkflow", function* () {
const twilio sms = this.connector(
'twilio sms',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
yield this.run.task('TaskA');
// The 'wait function is managed by the Zenaton engine and will be executed on your worker at the right time.
yield this.wait.for(duration.days(7));
yield twilio sms.get('path_to_API');
});
const { workflow, duration } = require("zenaton");
module.exports = workflow("WaitEventWorkflow", function*() {
const twilio sms = this.connector(
'twilio sms',
'your-connector-id-from-zenaton-dashboard'
);
// Wait for up to 24 hours for the event using the Zenaton Wait Function.
const event = yield this.wait.event("MyEvent").for(duration.hours(24));
if (event) {
// If event has been triggered within 24 hours
yield this.run.task('TaskA');
} else {
// else calls twilio sms API
yield twilio sms.get('path_to_API');
}
}
