TwiML™ SMS: <Redirect>

The <Redirect> verb supports the following attributes that modify its behavior:

The 'method' attribute takes the value GET or POST. This tells Twilio whether to request the <Redirect> URL via HTTP GET or POST. POST is the default.

The "noun" of a TwiML verb is the stuff nested within the verb that's not a verb itself; it's the stuff the verb acts upon. These are the nouns for <Redirect>:

No verbs can be nested within <Redirect> and <Redirect> can't be nested in any other verbs.

In this example, we have a <Redirect> verb. <Redirect> makes a request to http://www.foo.com/nextInstructions and transfers control to the TwiML returned from that request.

1
const MessagingResponse = require('twilio').twiml.MessagingResponse;
2

3
const response = new MessagingResponse();
4
response.redirect('http://www.example.com/nextInstructions');
5

6
console.log(response.toString());

1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2
<Response>
3
    <Redirect>
4
        http://www.example.com/nextInstructions
5
    </Redirect>

Redirects flow control to a TwiML at a URL relative to the current URL.
