Hi Folks,
Step 4. Now login in your Salesforce org and navigate Set up>-App Setup>Develop > Tool> force.com Migration Tool download this and pick one file "ant-salesforce.jar" and put it in lib folder of Apache( where we have ANT setup).
Step 5. We need to import all required classes of Twilio prepared fro Salesforce we need to click here https://github.com/twilio/twilio-salesforce and download one folder from this link and unzip it. From unzipped folder navigating nested folder and in "install" folder we will get some build files.
Step 6. Now we need to open command prompt and need to write path of folder where we have build.property and build.xml file as below :-
Step 9. My Customization around this package.
A) Custom Setting Setup
When we get library files along with it one custom setting also get configured in org automatically so we need to manage this custom setting with some values :
ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN & Sender's Phone number (for these values we need to create a trail account in Twilio site and then we will get these three parameters).we will keep this information in custom setting.
B) We need to create some record on contact object for this we have created a new field Is_RegisteredTwilioUser = true other then this we need to put Mobile number with ISD code (e.g. INDIA then +91 should be prefixed).
Note : This number should be verified from your Twilio account as below :
Now time to come on screen I developed to send SMS to contacts
(C) Customization to create a screen from where we can manage communication (Text SMS)
Visualforce Page :
Apex Class :
Today I brought up a very new type of implementation in Salesforce. We integrate Communication API and Salesforce APIs.
We can control our text/voice communication from few lines
of code in Salesforce. I thought the same and made it possible by
integrating SALESFORCE with TWILIO (one of the best cloud communication
third party system).
Here
is a way I followed to achieve to it:
First
of all we need to set up ANT to get some resource pool in our Salesforce from Twilio. You
may set up ANT by following steps :
Step 1 Download apache-ant-1.8.2-bin from Web.
Step 2 Install jdk1.6.0_25 or higher version.
Step 3 Go to run command use command sysdm.cpl press
"advanced" tab then press "environment variable" tab then
press on tab "New", create two variable ANT_HOME ,
JAVA_HOME and PATH
ANT_HOME D: \apache-ant-1.8.2-bin\
JAVA_HOME C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_25 (give
path of jdk)
PATH %SystemRoot%\system32;%
(if path variable is alreadyavailable then append this
also other wise create new Path variable)
Step 4. Now login in your Salesforce org and navigate Set up>-App Setup>Develop > Tool> force.com Migration Tool download this and pick one file "ant-salesforce.jar" and put it in lib folder of Apache( where we have ANT setup).
Step 5. We need to import all required classes of Twilio prepared fro Salesforce we need to click here https://github.com/twilio/twilio-salesforce and download one folder from this link and unzip it. From unzipped folder navigating nested folder and in "install" folder we will get some build files.
Step 6. Now we need to open command prompt and need to write path of folder where we have build.property and build.xml file as below :-
Step 7. When Build gets started run below message we will get ( as confirmation that we have downloaded all files from Twilio in to Salesforce).
Step 8. Here you can find in org that Twilio classes have been imported ( just to check of process Completion)
Step 9. My Customization around this package.
A) Custom Setting Setup

Note : This number should be verified from your Twilio account as below :

return localList ;

// Informaton getting from custom setting
if(AdminInfo.size()>0)
{
ACCOUNT_SID = AdminInfo[0].AccountSid__c;
AUTH_TOKEN = AdminInfo[0].AuthToken__c;
SenderMobileNumber = AdminInfo[0].Admin_Mobile_Number__c;
}
TwilioRestClient client = new TwilioRestClient(ACCOUNT_SID, AUTH_TOKEN);
Map properties = new Map {
'To' => SelectedMobileNumber ,
'From' => SenderMobileNumber,
'Body' => textMessage
};
TwilioSMS message = client.getAccount().getSmsMessages().create(properties);
ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.INFO, 'Message has been sent'));
}
else
{
ApexPages.addMessage(new ApexPages.message(ApexPages.severity.Error, 'Pelase provide valid Mobile Number '));
}
}catch(Exception e )
{
ApexPages.addMessages(e);
return ;
}
}
