Now I am at Stack Overflow as I could not get a simple answer elsewhere for my problem.

I need to send multiple messages with Twilio using Postman. I need to know the script and procedure how to do it. I would prefer JSON(application/json) under body>raw. And I would request if a screencast can be added to it.

Thanks in advance.

  • Why do you want to send multiple messages using Postman? What have you tried so far? The example scripts for using Curl can be easily adapted to using Postman instead https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/messaging/send-messages – Andy Sep 25 '17 at 19:24
  • I am sorry, I don't intend to send multiple messages, but to the multiple recipients. I will rephrase my question again. If I am not wrong, in order to send the message using postman, I need to follow the following steps: 1. Request > Post > URL 2. Authorisation > SID and Auth Token 3. Body > Raw > Select JSON(application/json) 4. The script in the blank box below. Now I need to know the parameters like To, From, Text, etc and the format for the same. Sorry if this still doesn't explain my query. Thanks for the effort. – John Radley Sep 25 '17 at 20:01

  1. Open Postman, new tab for a new request
  2. Select POST from the request type drop-down
  3. Enter request URL

https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Messages

(replace ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX with YOUR_TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID)

  1. Click on Authorization tab (it's under the request type drop-down) and then for the type select Basic Auth and you will see two fields Username and Password

  2. Enter YOUR_TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID for Username and YOUR_TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN for Password

  3. Next, click on the Body tab and make sure form-data is selected from the radio buttons. Here you need to enter Key Value pairs like in the picture below (but replace with your values, From must be your Twilio number):

  1. Of course, click on the blue Send button

  • Thanks a ton for your response. Last question, I need to send the message to multiple recipients, how do I separate the numbers in to column? – John Radley Sep 26 '17 at 18:30
  • If you're using the studio rest api, instead of body, put Parameters and type json for your variables. – Marcus Gallegos Mar 16 '20 at 04:32
