Sending SMSes from Azure Functions v2 – Twilio

Please find the brief manual to sending SMSed by Twilio service in Azure Functions v2. The purpose of it is similar to text related to SendGrid case. In case of Twilio, you need to install Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Extensions.Twilio NuGet package. After doing it, you should use the following code: using Twilio.Rest.Api.V2010.Account; using Twilio.Types; public static class SendNotificationSMS { [FunctionName("SendNotificationSMS")] public static void Run( [TwilioSms( From = "Assigned by Twilio number", Body = "...")] out CreateMessageOptions messageOptions) { messageOptions = new CreateMessageOptions( new PhoneNumber("Phone number to which you would like to send message")); } } Together with that, you should also add to [...]

Sending emails from Azure Functions v2 – SendGrid

Some time ago I described how you could integrate SendGrid service with Azure Functions (article: Sending emails from Azure Functions v2 – SendGrid link). Mentioned article is still valid in the scope of SendGrid service configuration. I need to add a part related to integration with Azure Functions v2. This version is generally available from the last few months and it introduced some architectural changes. In the previous version of functions (v1), the code that has been responsible for integration with different services providers was part of the runtime. Each time when Microsoft wanted to change something related to integration he needed [...]

How to enable/disable Azure Function programmatically

Today I would like to write about something different. I am curious… Have you ever thought about enabling/disabling Azure Function by code? In such scenario, we would be able to decide about the state of the function directly from our application. I believe that you can find a lot of useful scenarios for such behaviour. I will provide two of them. The first one. We have some resource that is not so fast and we would like to reduce the frequency of using it during the day. In such scenario, we can use Azure Storage Queue as a buffer for [...]

This is a second article showing how easy you can build value by correct compositions of two elements. This time we will try to send SMS from Azure Functions. Like in previous time – when we were sending emails – we have dedicated provider for this type of service. It is Twilio. […]

Sending emails from Azure Functions – SendGrid

I am trying to convince people that right now we should try to think about how we can build our application effectively. Instead of building everything from scratch we should look for possibilities of composition application from different elements. This means that you should write smaller amount of code and there is also smaller chance for making an error. In case of Azure Functions natural choice for email service provider is SendGrid. […]

Azure Function – Uploading photos to Azure Blob Storage

Today I would like to describe another production use case for Azure Functions. This time example is quite simple. I would like to use Azure Functions to upload photos to Azure Blob Storage. Of course, you can upload photos directly to Azure Blob Storage. However, with such solution, your components are tightly connected. This can block you in the future. To avoid that you should add some middle layer. For this, you can use Azure Function. It will act like an API that will accept photos encoder in base64 and upload it to provided location. With this approach, you will [...]
