I am in the learning stage with Ignition. We are considering making Ignition our default HMI/SCADA platform for our systems. Is there a sample project that uses Twilio to send a text message that I might get access to? I can find no documentation on Twilio’s website that references their module.

if you purchase the twilio module, it is a very easy setup.

there are a handful of things that need to be put in the configuration on the gateway webpage, some that you will need to get out of your twilio account.

Outside of that, you just select your twilio notification profile in your notification block in the pipeline.

Twilio has been rock solid for me and I would definitely recommend it over using an sms gateway.

I'm not a twilio user, but I'm pretty sure you don't want to show your credentials in this _ **public** _ post.

Yeah, I've removed the image, but for safety you should probably refresh your tokens in Twilio's API.
