For Profit!
SMS - The Obligatory Statistics slide

SMS vs Email
SMS Integration Use Cases

SMS and VoIP with Drupal
Benefits of integration
• Access to your existing data
• Ability to store/save data
• Automation of interaction
Current state of D7 Modules
• SMS Framework (sms_framework)– D6 version is fully functional– D7 still a work in progress (lots of
errors)– Rules integration still not working
correctly– Allows for multiple gateways
• VoIP Drupal (voipdrupal)– D6 version extremely feature rich– D7 still a work in progress– Larger learning curve and heavier
weight
Using the Twilio service
Twilio - Cloud Voice and SMS
Custom Twilio Module
• hook_twilio_sms_incoming– Allow your custom module to
respond to incoming SMS messages
• hook_twilio_voice_incoming– Allow your custom module to
respond to incoming voice calls
• Rules SMS Action– SMS incoming event coming soon
For FUN!
Apps I’ve built with the Twilio Module
• MyPartyPlanet– Born to help Myplanet staff party
more efficiently– Listserv for SMS and Twitter
• Buzzer– Allows people visiting a friends
apartment to let themselves in.
