How to use the Twilio API from Android's Tasker App

What's this blog post about?

This article demonstrates how to use the Twilio API from Android's Tasker App, an automation tool for Android phones. The author explains how to create a task that sends an SMS using the Twilio API and attaches it to a profile that monitors battery level. The credentials to the Twilio account are stored in variables within Tasker, allowing for privacy and flexibility in usage. This integration can be useful for various reasons such as hiding phone numbers, handling incoming messages programmatically, reusing old phones without SIM cards, or using Android on non-phone devices.
