Hello I am trying to trigger based on a image file being texted to a twillio number.  However there does not appear to be any data associated with the image.  

 

Hi @jfreeman1412 

You can use a Twilio API request to get more info about the message to determine if there are media subresources.

GET https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Messages/{MessageSid}/Media.json

 

If there is there will be a data point with a URI to use to make another API request to get data about the media.

 

Twilio API endpoints for Media: https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/api/media-resource


Hi there @jfreeman1412,

I did some digging into this, and it seems like you will need an MMS trigger for your desired workflow. I have added you to the open feature request for the Twilio integration to support the MMS trigger. That does a few things:

  • Bring this to the attention of the integration developers
  • Help track interest in this feature being implemented
  • Allows us to notify you via email if this feature becomes available in the future

While I don't have an ETA on when this feature might be implemented, we will notify you via email if it is!

In the meantime, you can use the workaround Troy suggested.

Hopefully, this helps.
