ActionMessage

ActionMessage is heavily-inspired on ActionMailer. It's a gem for sending SMS/Text messages like we do for sending e-mails on ActionMailer. Pull requests are more than welcome!

Usage

Install it using bundler:

# Gemfile
gem 'actionmessage'

If you're using Rails, place this on your environment file or application.rb

require 'action_message/railtie'

config.action_message = {
	from: "number to send from in international format, e.g.: +11231231234", 
	adapter: { 
		name: :twilio,
		credentials: {
			account_sid: 'MY TWILIO ACCOUNT SID'.freeze,
			auth_token: 'MY AUTH TOKEN'.freeze
		}
	}
}

Put this for example, under app/messages/welcome_message.rb

class WelcomeMessage < ActionMessage::Base
	def send_welcome_sms(name)
		@name = name
		sms(to: "+5531982726767")
	end
end

Define your views under your view path, such as: app/views/welcome_message/send_welcome_sms.text.erb

Welcome, <%= @name %>!

Pending implementations:

• Log instrumentation with ActiveSupport;
• Add generators;
• Add test helpers for deliveries count, matching message.body, message.to, etc;
• Add more adapters such as Plivo;
