Integrate Google Sheets with Twilio

Google Sheets

Google Sheets is a free, web-based spreadsheet offered by Google, which helps in managing and storing data. It helps in cplaboration and provides real-time updates.

Twilio

Twilio is an API that allows us to send and receive phone calls and text messages with just a few lines of code. It enables us to connect our apps and devices and it offers features like SMS, MMS, voice, and video calling.

Integration of Google Sheets and Twilio

Google Sheets can be integrated with Twilio using the Twilio add-on. This add-on will help you in creating TwiML (Twilio Markup Language. for outgoing calls and SMS.

Twilio also provides simple wrapper function to make it easier to use the add-on. Here we will see how to create a wrapper function in Google Sheets and use it with Twilio. We will be using the Twilio Python helper library for this purpose. The code below shows how we can create a wrapper function in Google Sheets. The code is self-explanatory.

The next step is to get the token from your Twilio account. You would have created this token when you signed up for Twilio using your phone number. You can view your account tokens here. You can find the Account SID under the _SID cpumn and the Auth Token under the _Token cpumn.

Now that we know our Account SID and Auth Token let’s test if our Twilio Python helper library works or not. We can do so by importing the library and invoking one of its functions. The code below shows how we can do that.

You should be able to see the output in your Google Sheet after running the code above. The output should be similar to that shown in the screenshot below.

Now that you are able to communicate with your Twilio account using the Twilio Python helper library, let’s create an example script for sending an SMS. The code below shows how we can do that.

Here we are sending an SMS to +919999994567, which is my Twilio number, with the text “Hello World”. If you compare the code above with the previous one that tested the helper library, you will notice that there is no change except two lines of code that are highlighted in red above. One line of code is used to set our Account SID and the other line is used to set our Auth Token. Now run this script in your sheet and you should be able to send an SMS message to your phone number with just a few clicks.

Now let’s create another example script for making a call using Google Sheets and Twilio Python helper library. The code below shows how we can do that.

We are calling +919999994568 which is my Twilio number with an input parameter that contains the text “Hello World”, like in the case of SMS messaging. Run this script in your sheet and you should be able to make call using your phone number with just a few clicks.
