Send Message with Nimba SMS

Use this extension to send messages (SMS) using the Messaging API based on information from documents added to a specified Cloud Firestore collection. The extension will also record the delivery status of each message.

Adding a document triggers this extension to send a message built from the document’s fields. The document’s fields specify who to send the message to and the body of the message and can optionally define the number to send the message from.

Here’s an example document that would trigger this extension:

admin.firestore().collection('messages').add({
  to: ['+224623000000'],
  sendername: 'SMS 9080',
  message: 'Hello from Firebase!'
});
