​
Method signatures

class SmsNotification extends Notification
{
    public function via(object $notifiable): array

    public function toTwilio(object $notifiable): TwilioSmsMessage
}

​
via()

Returns [TwilioChannel::class], routing the notification through the Twilio notification channel.

​
toTwilio(object $notifiable): TwilioSmsMessage

Builds and returns a NotificationChannels\Twilio\TwilioSmsMessage. The SMS body is composed as: 
{notification->summary}

{tracked open URL}
FieldSource
Content$delivery->notification->summary followed by a newline and the tracked open URL
Tracked URLOpen tracking route for $delivery->open_slug

​
What data it sends

The outbound SMS contains:
  • The notification’s summary text
  • A blank line separator
  • The full tracking URL for the delivery’s open_slug

​
Usage example

Add sms to a strategy’s channels array: 
// config/notification-center.php
'strategies' => [
    'alert' => [
        'queue'    => 'notifications-alert',
        'channels' => ['sms', 'webpush'],
        // ...
    ],
],
The notifiable model must implement routeNotificationForTwilio() returning the recipient’s phone number in E.164 format (e.g. +15551234567): 
public function routeNotificationForTwilio(): string
{
    return $this->phone_number;
}
The subscriber’s contact value stored in the subscription record should be the phone number in E.164 format.
