Unable to make Twillio work

[pacMakaveli]

Hi guys,

I do apologise if this has been raised before. I could only find https://github.com/excid3/noticed/issues/26 that relates to my problem, but it doesn't fix it.

Maybe I'm not understanding the documentation

class RefreshErrorNotification < Noticed::Base
  deliver_by :twilio, debug: true

  def message
    t('.message')
  end
end

My understanding is that by creating

en:
  notifications:
    refresh_error_notification:
      message: 'My Message'

Twillio should pick that message. It doesn't. Looking at the code https://github.com/excid3/noticed/blob/master/lib/noticed/delivery_methods/twilio.rb#L17 I can't see where Noticed tries to call that method at all and instead its looking at notification.params[:message]

I can fix this by doing either:

Body: notification.params[:message] || notification.message

or passing another value to: ::RefreshErrorNotification.with(resource: resource, error: e.to_s).deliver(user.partner) of message: "my twillio message here"

I personally would've thought that Noticed should automatically call the message method first and perhaps fallback to the message param or check if there is a param of message and then fallback to the message.

Am I doing something wrong?

[excid3]

Correct, Twilio won't look for a message method. It just uses a message in the params. https://github.com/excid3/noticed/blob/master/lib/noticed/delivery_methods/twilio.rb#L10-L20

I like the idea of calling a message method if it's defined and updating the delivery methods to call that and fallback to a message in params. That would be useful for I18n messages.

PRs welcome.

@excid3 cool! I'll work on it at some point this week.

Chiming in my support for this. When the documented idiomatic way to construct messages for notifications is to have a message method on the Notification, I found this default behavior to be unintuitive.

[dpaola2]

Easy override for anyone else coming along: use the format option as in:

  deliver_by :twilio, credentials: :get_twilio_credentials, format: :twilio_formatted, debug: true

  def twilio_formatted
    {
      From: get_twilio_credentials[:phone_number],
      To: recipient.phone_number,
      Body: message
    }
  end
