Send SMS through Service Task (http-connector) and Twilio (Script Based)

[StephenOTT]

With the work i did with Jsoup as part of

Replacing Http-Connector with Jsoup usage

Hey everyone so use case came up recently for doing some web scraping with Camunda. From this we needed more powerful features from HTTP requests and so we loaded http://jsoup.org into camunda int eh shared engine. From this we realized that this was actually a much more flexible solution compared to using HTTP-connector. Jsoup is optimized for html/xml responses, but with a few tweaks to the configurations of a request (all standard/supported by Jsoup), we end up with a great JSON or “whate…

I rewrote and simplified the Twilio code:

So now:

//Requires Jsoup in classpath: https://jsoup.org

function sendSms(to, from, body, accountSid, authToken)
{
  function buildBase64AuthString(accountSid, authToken)
  {
    var mergedAuthString = accountSid + ':' + authToken
    var base64 = Java.type('javax.xml.bind.DatatypeConverter').printBase64Binary(mergedAuthString.getBytes("UTF-8"))
    return base64.toString()
  }

  with (new JavaImporter(org.jsoup))
  {
    var doc = Jsoup.connect('https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/' + accountSid + '/Messages.json')
                   .method(Java.type('org.jsoup.Connection.Method').POST)
                   .header('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded')
                   .header('Authorization', 'Basic ' + buildBase64AuthString(accountSid, authToken))
                   .data("To", to,
                         "From", from,
                         "Body", body
                        )
                   .timeout(30000)
                   .ignoreContentType(true)
                   .execute()

    var resBody = doc.body()
  }
  return resBody
}

function spinify(body)
{
  var parsed = JSON.parse(body)
  var stringified = JSON.stringify(parsed)
  var spin = S(stringified)
  return spin
}

var twilioSms = sendSms('+1 123-123-1234',
                        '+1 555-555-5555',
                        'This is a test message',
                        'myAccountSid',
                        'myAuthToken'
                        )

execution.setVariable('responseBody', spinify(twilioSms))
