RPGLE service program for sending text messages with Twilio SMS API

RPGLE-Twilio-SMS

A really basic RPGLE service program to send a text with the Twilio SMS API.

This is my introduction to making service programs, so its probably not great. Originally I was going to submit this to the Twilio Hackathon at DEV, but I decided I would just keep this as a small learning project instead.

Summary

The service program has two procedures, sendSms and sendSmsVerbose.

• sendSms accepts 'simple' parms and returns an error code.
• sendSmsVerbose accepts a request data structure and returns the response as a data structure.

Additionally, each procedure logs the Twilio request/response to sql/sms_log.sql. The service program is really only a wrapper over top of a stored procedure I wrote, sql/send_sms.sql.

Setup

• Setup Twilio account and a Twilio phone number - https://www.twilio.com/
• Connect to IBMi via SSH - ssh USER@YOUR400
• Clone project - git clone https://github.com/barrettotte/RPGLE-Twilio.git
• Navigate to project - cd RPGLE-Twilio
• Give permissions to build script - chmod u+x build.sh
• Run build script - ./build.sh
• The build script will create the following
  • A Library named TWILIO to hold all of the Twilio objects
  • A Log table for logging SMS requests - sms_log
  • A simplified view over the log table -> sms_log_v
  • A stored procedure to call Twilio SMS API -> send_sms
  • An RPGLE service program to call Twilio SMS API -> ctl-opt bnddir('TWILIO/TWILIO') actgrp(*new);
• Example call in example/src/testtwilio.sqlrpgle

Commands

• give permissions to build script and build project - chmod u+x build.sh & ./build.sh
• git push - git -c http.sslVerify=false push origin master
