Actions
What your agents can do in Twilio
4 actions. Each one is a tool your agents can call and a step your workflows can run.
Read 1
Look things up. Nothing changes.
Get a message
Reads one message by its SID: status (queued, sent, delivered, undelivered, failed, received…), recipient, sender, body, error code and when it was sent.
Write 3
Create, change or send.
Send an SMS or MMS
Sends a text message, with an optional picture or file for MMS, from a Twilio phone number, short code, alphanumeric sender ID or Messaging Service.
Send a WhatsApp message
Sends a free-form WhatsApp message, with an optional picture or file, from a WhatsApp sender on this Twilio account.
Send a WhatsApp template message
Sends a WhatsApp message built from an approved Twilio Content Template (its SID starts with HX), filling in its variables.
A person can approve first
Any write action can be set to wait for a person's approval before it runs, so an agent asks before it changes anything.
Connection
How it connects
Connect it once in the console, then give it to the agents and workflows that need it.
Enter the API credentials from your Twilio account.
What you enter
- Account SID or API key SID
- Auth token or API key secret
Settings
- Account SID
Kept safe
- Credentials are stored encrypted with your organization's own keys.
- They are opened only by the process that makes the call, at the moment it runs, and never go into a prompt or the browser.
- Calls go only to the tool's own servers.
Ideas
Ideas to start with
Starting points made only from the actions above. Mix them with any other tool your agents can use.
- 01
Ask about your Twilio data
Ask a question in plain words. The agent can get a message in Twilio, then answers with what it found.
- 02
Let an agent update Twilio
Have the agent send an SMS or MMS or send a WhatsApp message in Twilio as part of a larger task. Turn on approval and a person signs off on each change first.
- 03
Work from your CRM
Give one agent HubSpot and Twilio: it can search contacts in HubSpot and send an SMS or MMS in Twilio in the same run.
