Using the connector
This connector features two available methods of Plivo's services: Sending an SMS, and Making a text-to-speech phone call.
To learn overall how/where to configure the use of a connector, refer to the Connectors Studio documentation.
When using the connector, make sure you consider the following details for each of the two available methods.
Sending an SMS
Send an SMS to a given phone number in any country.
To configure its inputs, consider:
•Src: The sender's phone number. Recall that for testing purposes in a trial account, this number you may need to previously authorize/verify.
•Dst: The recipient's phone number. Recall that for testing purposes in a trial account, this number you may need to previously authorize/verify.
•Txt: The actual message sent, composing the body of the SMS.
Additionally and specifically for the Plivo API, you will need to make sure you send as well your account's Auth ID (Plivo's account dashboard).
To configure its outputs when getting started and testing, you may map only the message item which is part of the output structure.
Making a text-to-speech phone call
Make phone calls to a given phone number in any country, by playing your own template message (text to speech).
To configure its inputs, consider:
•From: The caller's phone number. Recall that for testing purposes in a trial account, this number you may need to previously authorize/verify.
•To: The recipient's phone number. Recall that for testing purposes in a trial account, this number you may need to previously authorize/verify.
•Answer_url: An URL to access the XML resource which has the template text to be read over voice. Specs regarding the XML can be found in Plivo's Speak element documentation. (i.e to consider the template message plus other parameters such as the language and culture when reading the text).
•Answer_method: Specify the method to retrieve the XML resource defined in the Answer_url parameter. For a directly available XML, use GET.
Additionally and specifically for the Plivo API, you will need to make sure you send as well your account's Auth ID (Plivo's account dashboard).
To configure its outputs when getting started and testing, you may map only the message item which is part of the output structure.
