About the connector

Twilio provides its users with a platform and a robust API capable of sending messages using the carrier network all over the world, while also exposing a globally available cloud API that developers can interact with to build intelligent and complex communications systems.

This document provides information about the Twilio connector, which facilitates automated interactions with a Twilio server using FortiSOAR™ playbooks. Add the Twilio connector as a step in FortiSOAR™ playbooks and perform automated operations, such as sending an SMS message from one phone to another using Twilio.
