Summary

To show your boss how hard you're working, you can use the power of Nexmo and GitHub Actions to send them a text message every time a push is received in your repository. To do this, you'll need a Vonage API account and a virtual phone number, as well as a GitHub Action workflow that uses the Nexmo SMS Action. The workflow will require three secret variables: your Nexmo API Key, API Secret, and phone number, which can be stored in environment variables for security. Once created, the action will send a text message to the specified recipient with a greeting and a mention of the user who pushed the code. This can help demonstrate your value to your boss and lead to a positive annual review and pay raise.
