Twilio Getting started with Twilio Sending an SMS Message using Promises

Example

Twilio's Node.JS API natively supports promises, allowing you to use promises when sending SMS messages (this example was taken and adapted directly from Twilio's API Docs).

// Create an authenticated Twilio REST API client
var twilio = require('twilio');
var client = new twilio.RestClient('ACCOUNT_SID', 'AUTH_TOKEN');

// A simple example of sending an sms message using promises
var promise = client.makeCall({
    to:'+16515556667777', // a number to call
    from:'+16518889999', // a Twilio number you own
    body: 'Hello, world.' // A URL containing TwiML instructions for the call
});

// You can assign functions to be called, at any time, after the request to
// Twilio has been completed.  The first function is called when the request
// succeeds, the second if there was an error.
promise
.then(function(sms) {
    console.log('Call success! SMS SID: ' + sms.sid);
}, function(error) {
    console.error('Call failed!  Reason: ' + error.message);
});
