Hey @ODENDAAL,

I understand you are looking for resources to send text messages via MATLAB using twilio.

To communicate using the web services in MATLAB, check out the following documentation: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/web-services.html?s_tid=CRUX_lftnav

You can use the webwrite function to write data to RESTFUL web service. There is a very simple SMS client using Twilio which you can refer: https://github.com/bencorn/twilio-matlab-wrapper/blob/master/TwilioClient.m

I hope this helps!

I have link the added TwilioClient.m in the path but still unable to get it work.

Do I need to install anything? If so, where can I get the installation file.

I got this error: (Note that I have masked out part of AccountSID)

The server returned the status 400 with message "Bad Request" in response to the request to URL https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/AC4e#############/Messages.json.
