Twilio

Overview​

Twilio is a cloud communications platform that allows developers to integrate communication features like SMS, voice calls, video calls, and more, into their applications and services. Connect Twilio to Superblocks to create custom internal tools to programmatically send text messages, update media, and manage short codes.

Twilio connected Now you can use Twilio in any Application, Workflow, or Scheduled Job.

Use Twilio in APIs​

Once your Twilio integration is created, you can start creating steps in Application backend APIs, Workflows, and Scheduled Jobs to call Twilio API actions. Twilio actions are REST requests. To learn more about REST requests in Superblocks, see the Building REST requests guide.

Generic HTTP Request​

Every SaaS integration in Superblocks comes with a built in Generic HTTP Request Action. This is a powerful action you can use to call Twilio API endpoints not in the Superblocks supported actions.

To use this action simply add the method, path, required query parameters, and body for the desired endpoint.

Learn more about REST requests in Superblocks in our Building REST requests guide.

Generic HTTP Requests use the authentication set up and base URL you've configured for your integration, making it an easy for your team to extend Superblocks Integrations to meet their needs.
