The `twilio_call` notification platform enables sending notifications via Voice, powered by [Twilio](https://twilio.com).
|
|
Passed message will be read by Text-To-Speech service.
|
|
|
|
The requirement is that you have setup [Twilio](/components/twilio/).
|
|
|
|
To use this notification platform in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
notify:
|
|
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
|
|
platform: twilio_call
|
|
from_number: E164_PHONE_NUMBER
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Configuration variables:
|
|
|
|
- **from_number** (*Required*): An [E.164](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) formatted phone number, like +14151234567. See [Twilio's guide to formatting phone numbers](https://www.twilio.com/help/faq/phone-numbers/how-do-i-format-phone-numbers-to-work-internationally) for more information.
|
|
- **name** (*Optional*): Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created. The default value is `notify`. The notifier will bind to the service `notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
|
|
|
|
### {% linkable_title Usage %}
|
|
|
|
Twilio is a notify platform and thus can be controlled by calling the notify service [as described here](/components/notify/). It will send a notification to all E.164 phone numbers in the notification **target**. See the notes above regarding the `from_number` configuration variable for information about formatting phone numbers.
