Overview of Twilio#

Twilio's API on Pipedream opens up a multitude of communication capabilities, allowing you to build robust, scalable, and automated workflows. With Twilio, you can send and receive SMS and MMS messages, make voice calls, and perform other communication functions programmatically. Leveraging Pipedream's seamless integration, you can connect these communications features with hundreds of other services to automate notifications, streamline customer interactions, and enhance operational efficiency.

Connect Twilio#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    twilio: {
      type: "app",
      app: "twilio",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts.json`,
      auth: {
        username: `${this.twilio.$auth.AccountSid}`,
        password: `${this.twilio.$auth.AuthToken}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Delay#

The Delay API in Pipedream is a built-in function that allows you to pause a workflow for a specified amount of time. This can be incredibly useful when you need to stagger API calls to avoid rate limits, wait for an external process to complete, or simply introduce a delay between actions in a sequence. With precision up to milliseconds, the Delay API provides a simple yet powerful tool for managing timing in automation workflows.

Connect Delay#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({steps, $}) {
    // Specify the amount of time to delay your workflow in milliseconds
    return $.flow.delay(5000)
  },
})

How Our Family Uses SMS and Smart Picture Frames to Connect During Remote Holidays

Two days before Thanksgiving, I decided to put together a simple way for our family to share pictures, because we couldn’t be together in person. The idea: smart photo frames that everyone could text pictures to. Here’s how I got it working. tldr; A Pipedream workflow parses SMS messages sent to a Twilio phone number, extracting the pictures and then using SendGrid to email them to the dedicated email addresses used by our Pix-Star photo frames.
