Twilio Authentication

The use of the Twilio connector requires a Twilio account. Instead of a username and password, you sign into the API with using your Account SID and a secret Auth Token that is assigned to you. This can be retrieved from the Account Settings section of their website.

Twilio Origin

Table SMS

Returns a list of sent and received SMS/MMS messages. Use a value of 'true' in the "Return Media?" box to fetch any related media items to each message. This includes things like photos and will return a block of json which you'll have to parse. This option does have an effect on speed.

Filters

Can only be filtered on "To", "From", and "SentDate", https://www.twilio.com/docs/api/rest/message#list-get-filters. You can use the "and" operator. Ex:

To = '+16468324238' and DateSent >= '2016-01-01'

Call

Returns a list of voice calls. Can be filtered by "To", "From", "Status", "EndTime", and StartTime
