Instant Lead Alerts with PHP and Laravel
You probably already have landing pages or product detail views in your web application which you're using to generate some excellent leads for your business. Would you like to let the sales team know when you've got a new qualified lead?
In this tutorial, we'll use Twilio Programmable SMS in a PHP and Laravel application to send a message when a new lead is found.
In this example, we'll be implementing instant lead alerts for real estate.
We'll create a landing page for a new house on the market with a form to request more information. When a user submits the form we'll automatically notify a real estate agent in the field.

Let's begin! Click the below button to start the tutorial.
Populate the Landing Page Data
To display a landing page for our house, we'll first need to store some data.
For demonstration purposes, we've hard-coded an associative array containing the information we'd like to display.
Next, let's see how to render the landing page.
ランディングページをレンダリングする
In our blade template we'll insert data about the house. We'll also include a form in the sidebar to collect user contact details when they request more information.
Now that we have a landing page, let's look at how we use the Twilio REST Client to send messages.
Twilio REST API クライアントの作成
ここでは、必要なときにいつでもテキスト・メッセージを送信するために使用できる認証済みのTwilio REST APIクライアントで単純なサービスを作成します。
We initialize it with our Twilio Account Credentials stored as environment variables. You can find the Auth Token and Account SID in the console:
Our Twilio REST Client is ready! Now, let's see what we do when a new lead comes in from the form.
POSTリクエストを処理する
このコードは、ランディングページによって発行された HTTP POST リクエストを処理します。
It uses our sendMessage method to send an SMS message to the real estate agent's phone number, which is stored in an environment variable. We include the lead's name, phone number, and inquiry directly into the body of the text message we send to the agent.
And that's it! The agent has all the required information to immediately follow up on the lead.
We've just implemented an application to instantly route leads to sales people in the field using text messages. Next, we'll take a look at some other easy to integrate features for your PHP application.
