Twilio doesn’t offer OAuth for API access, so you connect it with an API credential you copy from the Twilio Console.

​
What you can do

Actions — send message (SMS/WhatsApp), list messages, get message, make call, list phone numbers, look up phone number. Triggers — start an automation on an incoming message (an inbound SMS to one of your Twilio numbers).

​
Get your credential

You can connect with either your account credentials or a standing API key. An API key is recommended — you can revoke it without rotating your main account auth token.
1

Open the Twilio Console

Sign in at console.twilio.com.
2

Create an API key

Go to Account → API keys & tokens → Create API key. Copy the SID (starts with SK) and the Secret (shown once).

​
Connect

1

Open Integrations

In arg.ai, go to Settings → Integrations and click Connect on Twilio.
2

Paste the pair

Enter the SID and secret joined with a colon in the single field:
or, with account credentials:
3

Save

arg.ai verifies the credential against your Twilio account and connects it.

​
Use it

  • In chat: “Text +1 555 123 4567 from my Twilio number: ‘Your order shipped.’”
  • In an automation: start a flow from the Incoming message trigger and reply with a Twilio send-message action node.
