The twilio_call notification platform enables sending notifications via Voice, powered by Twilio.
Passed message will be read by Text-To-Speech service.
The requirement is that you have setup Twilio.
To use this notification platform in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
platform: twilio_call
from_number: E164_PHONE_NUMBER
{% configuration %}
from_number:
description: "An E.164 formatted phone number, like +14151234567. See Twilio's guide to formatting phone numbers for more information."
required: true
type: string
name:
description: Setting the optional parameter name allows multiple notifiers to be created. The notifier will bind to the service notify.NOTIFIER_NAME.
required: false
default: "notify"
type: string
{% endconfiguration %}
{% linkable_title Usage %}
Twilio is a notify platform and thus can be controlled by calling the notify service as described here. 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.
