Using a custom SMS gateway

--------------------------

If you would like to use your own server for the SMS gateway, follow these

instructions.

### Altering manifest.json

Chrome extensions force the developer to specify which URLs the extension is

allowed to make requests to. This prevents extensions from sending user data to

servers without the users permission. In the "permissions" options in the

`manifest.json` file, you will see

    "permissions": [

        "tabs",

        "storage",

        "http://twilio.joequery.me/sms"

    ]

Change `"http://twilio.joequery.me/sms"` to the url of your endpoint.

### The endpoint

In the extension options, you must specify the endpoint url. The extension sends

a POST request to this endpoint with a `Content-Type` of `application/json`.

There are up to three data values that will be sent with the POST request from

the extension:

`to`: A phone number, or an array of phone numbers, that will receive the text

message

`body`: The text message body

`access_token`: If you have provided an access token in the extension settings

page, this will be sent.

Example:

    {

        'to': ['5555555555', '9999999999'],

        'body': 'This is the text message sent to multiple numbers!',

        'access_token': 'SomeRandomString'

    }

It is advised that your server require an `access_token` so not everyone will be

able to send text messages on behalf of your twilio account in the event they

discover your server url.

### An example sms gateway

Here is an SMS gateway written with Python using the Twilio API:
