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
Mercury	`mercury`	`app`	This component uses the Mercury app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`

Action 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,

First, create an API key in Twilio.

There are two types of keys: Master and Standard. You'll need a Master key to interact with certain API endpoints, like /Accounts.
If you don't need to interact with those endpoints, you can use a Standard key.

After creating your key, you'll see fields for Sid and Secret. Enter those in the fields below.

Visit your Twilio Dashboard. You'll see your Account SID listed near the top. Enter that in the AccountSid field below.
