What is Twilio Incoming SMS Integration

Twilio is a cloud communications platform for building SMS, Voice & Messaging applications on an API built for global scale.

With Twilio Incoming SMS, PagerTree users can:

• Purchase and manage global phone numbers using Twilio.

• Create alerts from incoming SMS

How it works

• When a new SMS comes in from Twilio, an alert is created in PagerTree automatically.
