Example Use Cases#
SMS Alert System for eCommerce Order Updates: Connect Twilio with Shopify to send SMS updates to customers when their order status changes. Apply conditions to trigger messages for order confirmation, shipment tracking, and delivery notifications, adding a personal touch to the online shopping experience.
Automated Customer Support Ticketing: Use Twilio with Zendesk to create a support ticket when a customer sends a text message to your Twilio number. This workflow automates the ticket generation process, ensuring that customer issues are promptly recorded and queued for support staff attention without manual entry.
Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) for App Security: Integrate Twilio with your custom app's authentication system to send a one-time passcode via SMS for 2FA. Enhance security by incorporating an extra verification step, making it tougher for unauthorized users to gain access to sensitive information or accounts.

- There are three types of keys: Main, Standard, and Restricted. You'll need a Main key to interact with certain API endpoints, like
/Accounts. - If you don't need to interact with those endpoints, you can use a Standard or Restricted key.
After creating your key, you'll see fields for Sid and Secret. Enter those in the fields below.
