Laravel + Twilio SMS System Integration in Simple Way

Today, we'll integrate laravel and Twilio SMS system to send SMS from Twilio sms number to another number.

Step 1:

Create Laravel Project called sms-portal -

composer create-project laravel/laravel sms-portal

Step 2:

Setup database in .env file - Create a database called - sms_portal in your MySQL client.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=sms_portal
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=12345678

Step 3:

Run Migration and Start application -

php artisan migrate
php artisan serve

Step 4:

Install and Setup Twilio

Run this command to install twilio PHP sdk.

composer require twilio/sdk

Get twilio credential

from https://console.twilio.com

Set this twilio data in .env file -

TWILIO_SID="ACxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN="fexxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
TWILIO_NUMBER="+1xxxxxxxxx"

Step 4:

Create Our Model and Migration to store phone numbers -

php artisan make:model UserPhone -m

It'll create two file - App\Models\UserPhone.php and databases/migrations/2022_03_19_063150_create_user_phones_table.php

where date time is dynamic for that time in migration file.

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('user_phones', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('phone_number');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
