Using TextBelt SMS with Elixir

I was recently introduced to the SMS service TextBelt which is a pre-pay and simplified service to provide the ability to send and receive SMS messages from code.

However, the site did not provide any examples of how to connect their service with projects coded in Elixir.

Sending SMS with TextBelt and Elixir

    # Add HTTPoison and Poison to your project dependencies
    params = %{
      phone: "5555555555",
      message: "Hello, world!",
      key: "textbelt"
    }

    HTTPoison.post(post_url, 
      Poison.encode!(params), 
      [{"Content-type", "application/json"}])
