Twilio
Send SMS through Twilio. Once installed, this integration becomes available as an SMS delivery provider for the Messaging app.
Prerequisites
Prerequisites
Before setting up the Twilio integration, ensure you have:
- An active DashX account
- A Twilio account
- A Twilio phone number capable of sending SMS
Find your Account SID
Your Account SID identifies your Twilio account. It is shown on the main page of the Twilio Console.
Create an API key
Twilio recommends authenticating with an API key rather than your account's auth token, so access can be revoked without rotating account-wide credentials.
- Sign in to the Twilio Console
- Open the API keys section under account settings
- Create a new Standard API key and give it a name (e.g.
dashx-integration) - Copy the SID — this is your API Key — and the Secret
warning
The API key secret is shown only once. Store it securely — if you lose it, create a new key.
Connect to DashX
- Log in to your DashX workspace
- Navigate to Settings > Integrations
- Click [+] to add a new integration and select Twilio
- Choose the environments you want to enable it for
- Enter the configuration below and save

tip
Trial Twilio accounts can only send to verified phone numbers, and prefix each message with a trial notice. Upgrade before testing real delivery.
