Q7540034 - I'm using Twilio for Whatsapp alerts, but I'm experiencing some difficulties with the setup. Do you have a standalone Powershell script that I can use to test it outside ActiveXperts Software?

Here is a Powershell script: 

# Twilio credentials
$AccountSid = "ACb12b4b9c8f3456abf46aa2cd2edda678"
$AuthToken = "d512e340c567e1b8a08300b4a71e2bb8"

# Telephone number: From number assigned to your Twilio account
$FromNumber = "whatsapp:+11234567890"
# Telephone number: To number 
$ToNumber = "whatsapp:+31612345678"

# Message body
$MessageBody = "Hello sir/madam, this is a test Whatsapp sent from Powershell via Twilio."

# URL
$Uri = "https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/$AccountSid/Messages.json"

# Basic Authentication
$Pair = "$AccountSid`:$AuthToken"

$EncodedCredentials = [Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetBytes($pair))

$Headers = @{
  Authorization = "Basic $EncodedCredentials"
}

# Request body
$Body = @{
  From = $FromNumber
  To = $ToNumber
  Body = $MessageBody
}

# Send the message
try {
  $Response = Invoke-RestMethod `
  -Uri $Uri `
  -Method Post `
  -Headers $Headers `
  -Body $Body
  Write-Host "Whatsapp sent. SID = $($Response.sid)"
}
catch {
  Write-Host "Status Code: $($_.Exception.Response.StatusCode.value__)"
  Write-Host "Error:"
  Write-Host $_
}
