Actions - Triggers - send-phone-message - API object

The API object for the send-phone-message Actions trigger includes:

api.cache

Store and retrieve data that persists across executions.

api.cache.delete(key)

Delete a record describing a cached value at the supplied key if it exists.

Returns a CacheWriteResult object with type: "success" if a value was removed from the cache. A failed operation returns type: "error". For errors, the returned object will have a code property that indicates the nature of the failure.

Parameter Description
key

String. The key of the record stored in the cache.

api.cache.get(key)

Retrieve a record describing a cached value at the supplied key, if it exists. If a record is found, the cached value can be found at the value property of the returned object.

Returns a cache record if an item is found in the cache for the supplied key. Cache records are objects with a value property holding the cached value as well as an expires_at property indicating the maximum expiry of the record in milliseconds since the Unix epoch.

Important: This cache is designed for short-lived, ephemeral data. Items may not be available in later transactions even if they are within their supplied their lifetime.

Parameter Description
key

String. The key of the record stored in the cache.

api.cache.set(key, value, [options])

Store or update a string value in the cache at the specified key.

Values stored in this cache are scoped to the Trigger in which they are set. They are subject to the Actions Cache Limits.

Values stored in this way will have lifetimes of up to the specified ttl or expires_at values. If no lifetime is specified, a default of lifetime of 15 minutes will be used. Lifetimes may not exceed the maximum duration listed at Actions Cache Limits.

Parameter Description
key

String. The key of the record stored in the cache.
value

String. The value of the record to be stored.
options

Optional object. Options for adjusting cache behavior.
options.expires_at

Optional number. The absolute expiry time in milliseconds since the unix epoch. While cached records may be evicted earlier, they will never remain beyond the the supplied expires_at.

Note: This value should not be supplied if a value was also provided for ttl. If both options are supplied, the earlier expiry of the two will be used.

options.ttl

Optional number. The time-to-live value of this cache entry in milliseconds. While cached values may be evicted earlier, they will never remain beyond the the supplied ttl.

Note: This value should not be supplied if a value was also provided for expires_at. If both options are supplied, the earlier expiry of the two will be used.
