Describe the SMS flow you want in chat and Rocket generates the complete logic - message templates, sending API calls, phone number formatting, and delivery tracking. ## What you can do > **SMS verification codes** > > One-time codes for account verification, email confirmation, or identity checks. > **Two-factor authentication** > > An extra layer of security with SMS-based verification during login. > **Order and shipping updates** > > SMS notifications when order status changes, from confirmation to delivery. > **Appointment reminders** > > Automated SMS reminders before scheduled appointments, meetings, or events. > **Alert and notification system** > > Time-sensitive alerts for system events, threshold warnings, or custom triggers. ## Before you connect You need three values from the [Twilio Console](https://console.twilio.com/): * **Account SID** - found on the Twilio Console dashboard * **Auth Token** - found on the Twilio Console dashboard * **From Phone Number** - your Twilio number in E.164 format, e.g. `+15551234567` > **How to find your Auth Token and Account SID** - Twilio Help Center > > [Open](https://help.twilio.com/articles/223136027-Auth-Tokens-and-How-to-Change-Them) > [!WARNING] > > Never paste your Account SID or Auth Token directly into chat. Always use the secure connection popup. > [!NOTE] > > Twilio is a **task-level** connector. Each Rocket task connects to its own Twilio credentials independently. ## Connect Twilio **Web Browser** You can connect from two places - both open the same popup. **Option 1: From chat** Type a prompt that mentions SMS - for example, `Connect Twilio and send an SMS verification code when a user signs up`. Rocket detects the intent and shows a **Connect** button inline. Click it and the popup opens. ![Twilio connection prompt in the Rocket chat panel.](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4/images/build/connectors/twilio/web-browser/twilio-chat-light.webp) ![Twilio connection prompt in the Rocket chat panel.](https://mintlify.s3.us-west-1.amazonaws.com/dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4/images/build/connectors/twilio/web-browser/twilio-chat-dark.webp) Twilio connection prompt in chat **Option 2: From the Connectors tab** Click the **`...`** button in the preview toolbar, then select **Connectors**.

Connect Supabase before Twilio for the best results. * **Trial accounts have restrictions.** On a Twilio trial account, you can only send SMS to verified numbers. Upgrade before going live. * **Phone numbers must be in E.164 format.** Always include the country code, e.g. `+15551234567`. * **SMS costs vary by country.** Twilio charges per message based on destination. Check [Twilio's pricing page](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/sms/pricing/us) for current rates. * **One Twilio account per task.** Each Rocket task connects to one set of Twilio credentials. Use different tasks for different Twilio accounts. ## What's next? > **[Supabase](https://dhiwisepvtltd-5e04e6a4.mintlify.site/build/connectors/supabase/overview.md)** > > Store phone numbers and verification codes.
