Verify Phone Numbers with Node-RED

What's this blog post about?

The Nexmo Verify API allows developers to validate users' phone numbers, ensuring that they are indeed reachable on the provided number. To set up this process in Node-RED, developers need a Vonage API account and credentials, which can be found on the dashboard. The `sendverify` node is used to start the verification process by sending an SMS message with a PIN code to the user's phone number. After submitting the received PIN code, the `checkverify` node compares it to the one generated by the Verify API, and if successful, outputs a response indicating that the verification has been completed. The status of the verification can be used to customize notifications to the user, such as displaying a success message or an error message if the verification fails. Additionally, developers can implement buttons to escalate the verification process to a TTS call instantly or cancel the verification process altogether. The Nexmo Verify API Reference provides more information on the available fields and their meanings in the response objects.
