Connections
Twilio API Key Connection
Authenticate requests to Twilio using an API key
This component authenticates with Twilio using API key/secret pairs that can be generated from Twilio's app console. To create a Twilio API key and secret pair:
- Go to the Twilio console
- On the top-right of the screen click Account -> API Keys & Tokens
- Select Create API Key
- Give your key a name and select Standard for Key type
- Take note of the API key's SID and Secret - you will enter those in a moment
Now, when you create an integration that uses Twilio, a "Twilio API Key Connection" will automatically be generated. Enter your API Key SID (starts with "SK..."), and its Secret. Go back to your Twilio console to find your Account SID (starts with "AC..."), and enter that as well.
| Input | Comments | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Account SID | Your account SID (starts with AC) | |
| API Key SID | An API Key SID (starts with SK) | |
| API Key Secret | The API secret that was generated when an API key was created |
Twilio Auth Token Connection
Authenticate requests using account SID and auth token
When you create a Twilio account, an Account String Identifier (Account SID) and Auth Token are generated. You can use the account SID and auth token to authenticate with Twilio and to send SMS messages.
For security reasons, we recommend using an API Key Connection instead. API keys can be revoked and auth tokens generated using API keys are short-lived.
| Input | Comments | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Account SID | Your account SID (starts with AC) | |
| Auth Token | Can be found on https://console.twilio.com/ |
