Send Laravel Notifications as a Phone Call

Nexmo Voice Channel is a package that adds a notification channel to Laravel using Nexmo’s voice API:

This package provides a notification channel for the Laravel framework that works with Nexmo’s voice API, allowing text-to-speech phone calls. It also provides a fluent interface to construct your message content.

To use this notification channel, you route a notification through VoiceChannel and provide a toVoice() method. The readme documents an example so you can get a visual of using this package:

 1use Roomies\NexmoVoiceChannel\Markup\Message;
 2use Roomies\NexmoVoiceChannel\Markup\SayAs;
 3use Roomies\NexmoVoiceChannel\Markup\Sentence;
 4use Roomies\NexmoVoiceChannel\NexmoVoiceChannel;
 5 
 6/**
 7 * Get the notification's delivery channels.
 8 *
 9 * @param  mixed  $notifiable
10 * @return array
11 */
12public function via($notifiable)
13{
14    return [NexmoVoiceChannel::class];
15}
16 
17/**
18 * Get the voice representation of the notification.
19 *
20 * @param  mixed  $notifiable
21 * @return \Roomies\NexmoVoiceChannel\Markup\Message
22 */
23public function toVoice($notifiable)
24{
25    return new Message([
26        new Sentence('Hi, thanks for joining Roomies.'),
27        new Sentence([
28            'Your verification code is',
29            new SayAs('ABC123')->interpretAs('spell-out')
30        ]),
31    ]);
32}

Here’s another example demonstrating the package’s markup types you can use to create a notification:

1new Sentence([
2    'Hey!',
3    (new Pause)->time('1s'),
4    (new Prosody('Wake up!'))->volume('loud'),
5    (new Substitution(
6        (new SayAs('US'))->interpretAs('spell-out'),
7    ))->alias('United States'),
8])
