Just think about a situation where you want to know your order status, either you would login to your system or you ask someone. Always have your laptop or computer with you and opening your outlook, this makes you to get tired the whole day.

Here is the TWILIO….

Twilio is the cloud communication platform. This platform is used by thousands of business and millions of developers, this receive sms, text, phone calls, video. Once we connect SAP with TWILIO, it post the data to whatsapp more quickly. This makes the business much faster than the mail conversation.

◉ Create the trial account in Twilio

Save the Code for configure with your whatsapp number.

Configure the twilio with your whatsapp number. Just enter the code to join like route-ten.

Example : –

PO Process:

Based on our requirement I have done,

Once PO is created and when it release in me29n the PDF of PO details send to the supplier whatsapp number.

◉ Implement the BADI and write the code in the method POST. This is the BADI to trigger the PO release.

◉ Inside the method call the form and convert it to PDF.

◉ After done the coding for form development.

◉ Use the above function module and convert to Binary,

◉ Here we have to declared the Custom Table to Save the Binary string, date time and other details.

◉ In the variable lv_url pass the Twilio URL and Accountsid Number.

◉ Set the Number to receive the data from twilio number.

◉ And set the content type as ‘application/x-www-form-urlencoded’.

◉ This content type is nothing but the data send in to a single block in the HTTP message body.

Send to the twilio and Receiver to the whatsapp number and we can get the response back from twilio.

◉ The same process is to send the PDF data.

◉ Here we have to use the media URL (our host and odata url)

◉ Set the Content Type

OData Creation:

Step: 1

Create the entity type and entity set.

Step: 2

Step: 4

◉ Before the GET STREAM coding Create the table to store the XString value, MIME type and all value you want to store.

◉ Declare the Custom table name for get the value from the table.

Step: 5

◉ Activate the method, Generate the object runtime and register the OData service.

Step: 6

Step: 7

Go to the Tcode : SICF and save the logon settings.

Default host -> sap -> Opu -> OData -> sap -> click your registered service name.
