Michael,

We’ve been using Twilio since 2013 for SMS appointment reminders on our
Ubuntu Server.
It’s a bit of a chore,but well worth the effort.

You didn’t mention what OS you’re running so here are some of the things
that are universal.

For starters, you need to modify the following files

globals.inc.php (To create places to enter your Twilio authentication data
in the global settings page)
Add the following code immediately after this. x1(‘API key for SMS
Gateway.’)), (which is split across lines 1002 and 1003 in my
globals.in.php)

‘TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID’ => array(
xl(‘Twilio Account Sid’),
‘text’, // data type
‘’, // default
xl(‘Account Sid for Twilio.’)
),
‘TWILIO_AUTHTOKEN’ => array(
xl(‘Twilio Auth Token’),
‘text’, // data type
‘’, // default
xl(‘Auth Token for Twilio.’)
),
‘TWILIO_FROM’ => array(
xl(‘Twilio From name’),
‘text’, // data type
‘’, // default
xl(‘Twilio From name’)
),

cron_sms_notification.php (to permit your server to access your Twilio
account)
Add the following code immediately after this line. global $mysms; (which
is line 38 in the file you attached)

$sql=“select * from globals where gl_name in
(‘TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID’,‘TWILIO_AUTHTOKEN’,‘TWILIO_FROM’)”;
$q=mysql_query($sql);
while($r=mysql_fetch_assoc($q)){
if($r[‘gl_name’]==‘TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID’)
$AccountSid=$r[‘gl_value’];
if($r[‘gl_name’]==‘TWILIO_AUTHTOKEN’)
$AuthToken=$r[‘gl_value’];
if($r[‘gl_name’]==‘TWILIO_FROM’)
$from=$r[‘gl_value’];
}
if($AccountSid)
{
include_once(“/var/www/openemr/modules/sms_email_reminder/sendnotifications.php”);
}else

Hit me back if you need more help.

Thank you very much David
I am using the OpenEMR 4.22 ver. which is bundled with Xampp and it is running on windows 8.1
Secondly, is the file path below still valid in my windows platform ?

include_once("/var/www/openemr/modules/sms_email_reminder/sendnotifications.php");

Not sure about Windows path to OpenEMR web directory (I use Ubuntu)
however, the last part (modules/sms_email_reminder/ is correct. That
directory should also contain the Twilio folder (downloaded from their
website) in addition to sendnotifications.php the following files should
also be there;
cron_functions.php
cron_sms_notification.php

Regards,
David

David,
I am on the process of incorporating Twilio to our newly installed OpenEMR v4.2.2 which is running on Windows 7 Pro. After spending days researching both (here and Github) on how to best incorporate Twilio I think I finally found the correct thread. Can you please share the steps you’ve taken and the files you’ve downloaded to make Twilio work? In what directory you’ve added/deleted scripts? You’re help is greatly appreciated.

George, I must appologize for missing your last post. The steps and files needed for a Windows based system will be somewhat different. As I stated previously, we use Ubuntu and the Wiki page for setting it up.
