Overview

Connecting Twilio with WeWeb lets you tap into Twilio's awesome communication powers right inside WeWeb projects. Twilio offers things like SMS, voice calls, and messaging. On the flip side, WeWeb is a no-code platform for creating web apps. Mix these together, and you can easily ramp up your apps with smooth communication functions, no need for tons of coding. This guide breaks down all the steps: from setting up Twilio, tweaking WeWeb settings, to linking both platforms. This way, you'll be able to send SMS alerts, make calls, or handle customer chats straight from your web app.

Step 7: Set Up Twilio Actions in WeWeb

  • Choose the right Twilio action from the WeWeb action list (like Send SMS).
  • Fill in the details like the recipient's phone number, message body, etc.
  • Save the action settings.

Step 8: Test the Integration

  • Preview your WeWeb project and trigger the action you set up with Twilio (like submitting a form that sends an SMS).
  • Check that Twilio does its job (like the SMS is received on the specified phone number).

Step 9: Monitor and Debug

  • Keep an eye on the Twilio Console for logs and reports.
  • Check the WeWeb dashboard for any errors or issues.
  • If something goes wrong, debug by comparing Twilio logs with WeWeb actions.
