Twilio SMS Not Sending Using Parse Cloud

The user will click on a button that will invoke the Parse Cloud function sendText()

I've tried both Live Twilio and Testing Twilio accSID and authToken

I first initialize my Twilio by:

var Twilio = require('twilio');
Twilio.initialize('accountSid', 'authToken'); //put in my corresponding <<

then I set the Parse function by:

Parse.Cloud.define('sendText', function(request, response) {

    Twilio.sendSMS({
        From: '+1234567890', //From Number
        To: "+0987654321", //To Number
        Body: "Start using Parse and Twilio!" //Message <<
    }, {
        success: function(httpResponse) { response.success("SMS sent!"); },
        error: function(httpResponse) { response.error("Uh oh, something went wrong"); }
    });
}

It would be great to have someone tell me if something here is wrong or if there are other approaches in sending SMS through Twilio via Parse Cloud.

On the SMS Summary on Twilio, it does not even know any SMS being sent out.

Going on...

The button that calls this cloud function is:

<button type="button" class="page-scroll btn btn-xl" onclick="saveData()">CONFIRM</button>

and the js function that is called saveData() is:

function saveData() {
booking.save({
    something: something,
}, {
    success: function (booking) {
        window.location.href = 'final.php';
        Parse.Cloud.run('sendText',
            {
                something: something
        });
    },
    error: function (booking, error) {
        alert('Failed to save');
    }
});
}

NO ERROR LOG

Twilio developer evangelist here.

You seem to be using an old Parse module which is no longer supported by us. The new module however uses a newer version of our Node module.

Some documentation for it can be found here

It also has some sample code to do what you're trying to do.

// Require and initialize the Twilio module with your credentials
var client = require('twilio')('ACCOUNT_SID', 'AUTH_TOKEN');

// Send an SMS message
client.sendSms({
    to:'+0987654321', 
    from: '+1234567890', 
    body: 'Hello world!' 
  }, function(err, responseData) { 
    if (err) {
      console.log(err);
    } else { 
      console.log(responseData.from); 
      console.log(responseData.body);
    }
  }
);

I think you will find your SMS will be sent using this version of the code. Notice how the initialization is different.
