Send notifications using Twilio
Instructions
In your code so far, you've only logged the distance to the geofence. In this assignment, you'll need to add a notification—either a text message or an email—when the GPS coordinates are inside the geofence.
Azure Functions offers various options for bindings, including integrations with third-party services like Twilio, a communications platform.
- Sign up for a free account at Twilio.com
- Review the documentation on how to bind Azure Functions to Twilio SMS on the Microsoft docs Twilio binding for Azure Functions page.
- Review the documentation on how to bind Azure Functions to Twilio SendGrid for sending emails on the Microsoft docs Azure Functions SendGrid bindings page.
- Add the binding to your Functions app to send notifications based on whether the GPS coordinates are inside or outside the geofence—but not both.
