I have an SMS API from textlocal which I want to use to send SMS using Cloud function when a new Document is created in Firestore Collection. Collection name: Booking SMS. It will have a document created with fields 'number', 'name' & 'service'. Now SMY API need few parameters to send SMS.

API URL: 'https://api.textlocal.in/send/'

  1. Apikey
  2. Sender
  3. Message. Message will be constructed as 'Hi, 'name' your booking of 'service' is confirmed.

Name, service & number will be from Firestone document and apikey and sender will be coded in cloudfunction code. Now I want to create cloudfunction trigger which will send sms when document is created. Below is incomplete code I tried please help me to complete it.

    const functions = require('firebase-functions');
   const admin = require("firebase-admin");
 const axios = require("axios");

 admin.initializeApp()


 exports.sendSMS = functions.firestore
.document('BookingSMS/{BookingSMSId}')
.onCreate((snap, context) => {

    const smsOptions = axios.create( {
        baseURL: "https://api.textlocal.in/",
        params: {
            apiKey: "xQ1Fvg7uv14NaAEQHl2D", //Text local api key
            sender: "ASDASD",
            test: "true",
            number: snap.data().phone,
            service: snap.data().service,
            message: `Hi, Your Booking for ${snap.data().service} is 
 Confirmed. Thank You.`
         }


    });
    smsOptions.post("/send");

});

I also want to add +91 before number. and construct message using name and service.

As per the documentation, there is no direct support for node.js. You should be able to use their get request though. (Hope you're familiar with async/await) Try:

async function bookSMS(user) {
        // 5. Send booking SMS to users
        const smsoption = {
                apikey: 'asasasasasasasasas',
        sender: 'DDDDDD'
                to: '${user.phone}',
                message: 'Welcome!',

        }
        // 6. Process the sending of this SMS
        await fetch(`https://api.textlocal.in/send/?apikey=${apiKey}&numbers=${user.phone}&message=Welcome!&sender=DDDDDD`)
}

You must enable billing to access external APIs in firebase
