0 SMS not working. Frustrated with rock. 23 Rolando Rostro posted 6 Years Ago friends, I've tried everything, SMS is not working. We are kinda happy with Rock, but SMS stopped working for us and nobody seems to be able to help. does Rock offer paid support? We need a solution or else we might have to navigate away of Rock.Just for info, twilio is set correctly, there was no change to the Sms setup, it simply stopped working.Tried a different twilio account just in case, nothing.tried different settings on twilio, nothing. Can anybody help?
Michael Garrison 6 years ago If you're on 6.10 you need to change False to True in the twilio file on the file system under the webhooks directory, Undoing this change :https://github.com/SparkDevNetwork/Rock/commit/01a8e50a214743f70fb8669a29972f4cc3c99c0a
Michael Garrison 6 years ago The aspx file you edited is where the codes are stored and run which communicate with Twilio, if that's the answer your looking for. It communicates with Twilio using TCP connections to send data directly though; there's no intermediary file that it uploads to Twilio, for instance. The contents of the messages are stored in the databaseHave you changed the directory structure? I don't understand that part of your question
Michael Garrison 6 years ago It only runs every few minutes- communications are held until the job runs, and then are sent out.I know that job sends e-mails, I'm honestly not sure if it also does the SMS messages.So just sending a message wouldn't make it run again- the message may be held until the next time the job is scheduled to run. Check it again now and see if it's run, and/or click the play button on that row to make it run now.
Michael Garrison 6 years ago What did you mean by this then: "If I send text to phone #, twilio responds."
Michael Garrison 6 years ago If you have set up a Defined Type value in "SMS From Values" that looks like this screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/wQMoO then using a DIFFERENT phone to text your twilio number should forward the message to the phone number stored on your personal profile in your Rock installation, provided that messaging is enabled on your profile.Take special note of the formatting on the defined value- you need the +1 and no spaces or dashes
Jim Michael 6 years ago Any chance this is a firewall/networking issue, and Rock is having trouble sending to Twilio itself?
Michael Garrison 6 years ago I was hoping to try and answer that once they told me where the server was hosted. It would be an odd configuration though, to let me get a response when manually requesting the twilio ashx page, but not let traffic out. 🤔
Jim Michael 6 years ago Yep, would definitely be odd... but this thread qualifies as such :-) I was grasping at my network admin straws, where I know a web server accepting inbound requests is not the same as initiating an outbound request, thus the (admittedly) remote possibility that nothing is wrong with Rock, but it for-whatever-reason can't contact Twilio.
