  My org recently integrated Twilio with CiviCRM and while we're excited to start using something for SMS that's connected to the database, it doesn't look like we'll be able to send multimedia (MMS) pictures, etc. through the system.
  
  I've looked through the documentation, and there is plenty of SMS but nothing that I can find on MMS or sending multimedia via the service. I did find this older ticket that discussed wanting to use the CiviSMS option to send QR codes and it noted that Twilio at the time didn't include MMS. With the updates to the Twilio platform to allow for MMS, are there ways to integrate (or update) the CiviCRM code to allow for MMS?
