In your code so far you have just logged the distance to the geofence. In this assignment you will need to add a notification, either a text message, or an email, when the GPS coordinates are inside the geofence.
Azure Functions has many options for bindings, including to third-party services such as Twilio, a communications platform.
- Sign up for a free account at Twilio.com
- Read the documentation on binding Azure Functions to Twilio SMS on the Microsoft docs Twilio binding for Azure Functions page.
- Read the documentation on binding Azure Functions to Twilio SendGrid to send emails on the Microsoft docs Azure Functions SendGrid bindings page.
- Add the binding to your Functions app to be notified on the GPS coordinates either inside or outside the geofence - not both.
