How do I connect Twilio?

Add the Twilio piece to a flow, then authenticate with Basic auth. Once connected, its 5 triggers and 6 actions are available anywhere in the builder.

What can I automate with Twilio?

"New Incoming SMS" can start a flow that runs "Send SMS", and you can chain Twilio together with any of 760+ other apps and AI steps in between.

Can I self-host the Twilio integration?

Yes. Activepieces is fully self-hostable, so you can run the Twilio piece on your own infrastructure with your connections and your data staying in your environment.

Can my AI agent use Twilio as a tool?

Yes. Every piece you connect can be exposed over one Activepieces MCP server, so Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or any MCP client can call Twilio actions as tools.
