quick_sms

A simple service to send an sms to a phone number via email.

Built on top of:

• go
• echo

About

The most common use case for something like this is when you need to send an an SMS notification to a relatively small set of numbers, sometimes its better to use a larger service (like TWILLIO) if you need to send to a large set of numbers and the provider for the numbers is not known. Also this approach doesn't really work for messaging back and forth.

---

Setup

• rename the .env-example to .env and replace the variables with your own
• update the knownNumbers.json file with numbers you might expect to use.
• if using gmail, the setup for unsafe apps needs to be set see this link

---

Dev

• make any changes to code
• use the ./scripts/run.sh to run locally

---

Docker

• docker-compose up

Test

• use postman or something to POST a body to https://127.0.0.1/sms

Example Payload

{
    "number":"5550003333",
    "message":"I have a belly button.",
    "provider":"T-Mobile" (optional)
}

if no provider is set, then the known numbers will be checked to get that info.
