Hi everyone,
I am trying to automate an SMS using a basic Twilio script that I found here:
Twilio Script
This script works when I run it within the script app, even with my changes made to disable to input text. When I run the same code in the automation run script action I get the error code ‘ReferenceError: btoa is not defined’.
My code is below:
* Twilio send SMS script
*
* Send a single SMS to a provided telephone number using the Twilio service
*
* The Airtable "Send SMS" Block (available to customers with a "Pro" account)
* is capable of sending many messages in batches based on the contents of the
* Airtable Base in which it is installed.
*
* **Notes on adapting this script.**
*
* The script prompts for input every time it is run. For some users, one or
* more of these values may be the same with every execution. To streamline
* their workflow, these users may modify this script by defining the constant
* values in the first few lines. The values should be expressed as JavaScript
* strings in the object named `hardCoded`.
*/
'use strict';
/**
* Users may provide values for any of the properties in the following object
* to streamline the script's startup.
*/
const hardCoded = {
twilioAccountSid: 'XXX',
twilioSendingNumber: 'XXX',
// Note: the code in Airtable scripts is visible to all users of the
// Airtable base. By entering the Twilio Auth Token here, all users will
// have access to that sensitive information.
receivingNumber: 'XXX',
messageBody: 'XXX',
twilioAuthToken: 'XXX'
};
const twilioAccountSid =
hardCoded.twilioAccountSid || (await input.textAsync('Twilio Account SID'));
const receivingNumber = hardCoded.receivingNumber;
const messageBody = hardCoded.messageBody;
const twilioSendingNumber =
hardCoded.twilioSendingNumber || (await input.textAsync('Twilio sending telephone number'));
const twilioAuthToken = hardCoded.twilioAuthToken || (await input.textAsync('Twilio Auth Token'));
const url = `https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/${twilioAccountSid}/Messages.json`;
const headers = {
// Format the "Authorization" header according to "HTTP Basic Auth"
Authorization: `Basic ${ btoa(`${twilioAccountSid}:${twilioAuthToken}`)}`,
// Twilio expects request data to be formatted as though it were submitted
// via an HTML form
'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8'
};
const body = new URLSearchParams({
From: twilioSendingNumber,
To: receivingNumber,
Body: messageBody
});
let result;
try {
let response = await fetch(url, {
method: 'POST',
headers,
body
});
if (!response.ok) {
result = `Error sending SMS: "${await response.text()}"`;
} else {
result = 'SMS sent successfully.';
}
} catch (error) {
result = `Error sending SMS: "${error}"`;
}
output.text(result);
Can anyone provide me with some help here?
Thank you
