I'm technical, but not experienced in coding and could use some help. I need to create an http request from Twilio studio. I am setting up a phone survey for my client and I need to log both voice and number inputs from the call to a database. I already have the database set up externally. It logs responses with an http request from CLI curl. I'm using the following curl request successfully:

curl --data "q=1 -X POST localhost/test.php

When I try to duplicate the same curl request using the http request widget (no http parameters), I only get error 500 back. By the way, I know it's collecting the data correctly with the flow because I've had it collect and then read back to me successfully.

Twilio studio http request.

I have tried adding http parameters instead of putting them in the body as well. Nothing I try works. My guess is that I have a fundamental misunderstanding of http requests and thus can't duplicate it in Twilio.

Any help you could give me would be great! Thank you!

When you add http parameters instead of putting them in the body (see the capture below)

enter image description here

there is a big red "Save" button on bottom left corner, and a gray (hard to see and easy to miss) "Save" link on the right, above the trash bin.

The gray "Save" link needs to be clicked when adding each name/value pair of the parameters.

The red "Save" button is to be clicked at the end when you're done with the http widget.

  • I've tried this as well, and I can't seem to extract the data from the parameter. I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing wrong. Here is the php I'm using: `` – tpeabody Dec 13 '19 at 21:38
  • With a tool like Postman or cURL you can replicate the POST request Twilio should make to your endpoint. Does your code work then? – Alex Baban Dec 14 '19 at 03:27
  • I have done a cURL in terminal without changing around the code I posted above and got it to save into the database no problem. The problem I'm getting back from Twilio is a "Outbound HTTP Request Failed" and a possible cause they list is a badly formed response (or a 4xx/5xx error). I'm guessing it's an error 500 which doesn't seem to tell me much given it's such a generic error code. – tpeabody Dec 15 '19 at 23:38
