Need

Being able to send an SMS with Twilio from a Messaging Service (specified by a messagingServiceSid) whereas today you can only send an SMS by specifying a from number.

Functional scope

Settings

• Make fromNumber optional whereas today it's required and change the description to "A Twilio phone number that you own in E.164 format which will be used to send text messages. If you are using a Messaging Service you can leave this field empty."
• Add a new settings field messagingServiceSid which is also optional and has the following description "The SID of the Messaging Service you want to associate with the Message. If you are not using a Messaging Service but a "from" number, then you can leave this field empty."

Changes to the current "Send SMS" action

• Change the label of the action to "Send SMS (with from number)"
• Change the description of the action to "Send a text message from a given telephone number to a recipient of your choice."
• Add a new action field fromNumber which should come first in the list, is optional, and has the following description: "The phone number that will be used to send the message. If left blank, the from number specified in the settings will be used."
• Throw a human-readable error when fromNumber in settings AND in action field are not specified (with onError function)

Add a new action

• Action label: "Send SMS (with Messaging Service)"
• The description of the action to "Send a text message from a Messaging Service to a recipient of your choice."
• Has the following action fields and descriptions
  • messagingServiceSid (string): "The SID of the Messaging Service you want to associate with the Message. If left blank, the SID specified in the settings will be used."
  • recipient: see already existing action
  • message: see already existing action
• Throw a human-readable error when messagingServiceSid in settings AND in action field are not specified (with onError function)
