Twilio Overview#

Twilio's API on Pipedream opens up a multitude of communication capabilities, allowing you to build robust, scalable, and automated workflows. With Twilio, you can send and receive SMS and MMS messages, make voice calls, and perform other communication functions programmatically. Leveraging Pipedream's seamless integration, you can connect these communications features with hundreds of other services to automate notifications, streamline customer interactions, and enhance operational efficiency.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/common-polling.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "twilio-new-recording",
  name: "New Recording",
  description: "Emit new event when a new call recording is created",
  version: "0.1.6",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    async listResults(...args) {
      return await this.twilio.listRecordings(...args);
    },
    generateMeta(recording) {
      const {
        sid: id,
        dateCreated,
      } = recording;
      return {
        id,
        summary: `New recording ${id}`,
        ts: Date.parse(dateCreated),
      };
    },
  },
};

Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Twilio	`twilio`	`app`	This component uses the Twilio app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling schedule	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream polls Twilio for events on this schedule.

Trigger Authentication#

Twilio uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Twilio account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Twilio APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To connect your Twilio account to Pipedream,

API Key and API Key SID

First, create an API key in Twilio.

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.

Account SID and Auth Token

Visit your Twilio Dashboard. You'll see your Account SID and Auth Token under Account info.
