As you can tell if you’ve been reading my blog lately, I’ve been spending some time playing with Ring Central. One of the use cases that I’ve mentioned in the past is using it for SMS notifications in an IoT environment. Maybe you have a temperature sensor or a motion sensor and you want an SMS notification each time a certain reading or event is detected - these are very common use cases. Since I’ve also spent some time playing around with Node-RED in the past, I thought an integration with these two tools would be a perfect idea, so I built one! If you don’t have Node-RED installed, see my other post on this blog - or, install it locally. You may also be working on a Raspberry Pi - and some versions of Raspbian come with Node-RED pre-installed. When your Node-RED server is up and running, you’ll want to install the Ring Central module that I built.

In my last post, I showed you how to make a voice call with Java and Ring Central. In this post, I’ll show you how to create your first Glip team. If you get stuck, refer to the developer portal docs, but it’s pretty simple.

As always, first include the dependency:

compile 'com.ringcentral:ringcentral:1.0.0-beta10'

Next, in your class, set some variables:
