How do I include an Image in an Outbound Twilio SMS (MMS)?

For the Twilio SMS channel, you can use the MediaUrl parameter in the response to deliver an image. Let’s see an example of how to send an outbound message that includes an image and a text message.

Sample API cURL Script:

curl -XPOST https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Messages.json \
--data-urlencode "To=+13105555555" \
--data-urlencode "From=+12125551234" \
--data-urlencode "MediaUrl=https://demo.twilio.com/owl.png" \
--data-urlencode "Body=Hello, here is how it looks!" \
-u 'ACXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:your_auth_token'
