Twilio Call
The twilio_call
notification platform enables sending notifications via Voice, powered by Twilio.
Passed message will be read by Text-To-Speech service.
The requirement is that you have setup Twilio.
To use this notification platform in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml
file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
- name: NOTIFIER_NAME
platform: twilio_call
from_number: E164_PHONE_NUMBER
Configuration variables:
- from_number (Required): An E.164 formatted phone number, like +14151234567. See Twilio’s guide to formatting phone numbers for more information.
- name (Optional): Setting the optional parameter

allows multiple notifiers to be created. The default value isnotify
. The notifier will bind to the servicenotify.NOTIFIER_NAME
