Bulk SMS alerts

This repo is an example of sending one, a few and many SMS messages using the Twilio API.

You can read about how this code all works in the Ultimate guide to sending bulk SMS with Twilio and Node.js.

Running the code

Clone the repo, then change into the directory:

git clone https://github.com/philnash/bulk-sms-alerts.git
cd bulk-sms-alerts

Install the dependencies:

npm install

Copy the .env.example file to .env:

cp .env.example .env

Fill in the environment variables in .env. You will need to collect them from your Twilio console.

to use the messaging API and a Twilio number to send one message.

Run

npm run 99flake

to use the Notify API to send multiple messages with just one API call.
