Hello,

I'm trying to figure out whether twillio or any other plugin will allow me to send a presaved / dbase stored message, to and from info....by clicking on the click of a button.

i want my app user to store a presaved message and then when they're ready at some later time, use a designated button to access stored info and send to recepient via sms

in other words I'd like to do the following:-

click on button to-

1)query dbase to access To, From & Message info
2)send that message via sms to the stored To information

Twilio API only sends messages.. it doesn't really matter where you get the to:, from:, and the actual message. It only knows how to send a message. The plug-in is just a pre-configured API, that's it. Saving the to:, from: and the message is possible -- it can be part of your app logic.

Can you point me to the / manual where I can get some guidance on how to access the dbase and invoke the service. Saving to the dbase is of course not the problem.

Again.... I know about invoking and accessing but I have yet to see a tutorial with detail on using twilio on messages saved in a dbase.

I hope you understand, it's not possible for us to create a tutorial for every specific case and/or API. Having said that, the tutorials and the docs show you how to use services, how to map services and how to invoke services. If you know how use one service, you should be able to use any service out there, including Twilio.
