Build an SMS Panic Button with Twilio Functions
Blog post from Twilio
A nonprofit or social enterprise can build an SMS Panic Button using a free Twilio account and an IoT button like Flic to discreetly send an urgent call for help in emergency situations. The panic button sends an HTTP request that triggers a Twilio Function, which then sends an SMS message to a predefined number. This flow requires configuring the button to execute an outgoing HTTP request and linking it to the Twilio Function. A Twilio Function is created with a predefined phone number and sends a message whenever an HTTP request comes in. The panic button's logic works as follows: a single click triggers an HTTP request that leads to the Twilio Function, which then sends an SMS message to a list of numbers defined by the user.
