List of Notify Connectors and their types

Import · Oct 07, 2020 · article

Notify supports two kinds of Connectors (internally also known as drivers) -- Telephony Connectors and Conference Connectors.

Telephony Connectors

These connectors are meant for providers who support the ability to make voice calls and/or SMSes. These connectors are accessible via the NotifyApi and NotifyScopedApi

As of Paris the following Telephony Connectors are available.

1 Twilio Notify Twilio Direct Driver In plugins list (part of family release) - com.snc.notify.twilio_direct Doc Link ServiceNow Madrid Yes Yes
2 Vonage (formerly Nexmo) Vonage Communications APIs ServiceNow Store Nexmo New York Yes Yes

Conference Connectors

Technically Conferences are higher layer product which can be put together using Voice APIs of a Telephony provider. However, there are many providers (like Zoom) which give us APIs to interact with their Conference layer but not to their underlying Voice infrastructures.

These connectors are meant for such providers, which do not allow access to underlying telephony infra but can only be used for conferencing. These connectors are accessible via NotifyConferenceUtils.

Note that Telephony Connectors are automatically accessible in this API. Notify uses the Workflow associated with the Notify number to setup the conference using the Telephony provider's Voice and SMS APIs.

As of Paris the following Conference Connectors are available.

# Provider Name Plugin Name Where to get it Maintained by Available since
1 Telephony Part of core plugin Auto enabled when Notify plugin is enabled. This is a virtual connector which allows access to all active Telephony Connectors via Conference APIs. ServiceNow New York
