Twilio Setup

In order to set up Twilio connector in Creatio, we need to set up resources and the Twilio side, specifically:

  1. Create TwiML application

  2. Gather Account data

  3. Create API Key

Here is the process of getting these data.

API key

 

  1. Click API keys & tokens button (Fig. 1) (required to generate the token requested in the Twilio SDK)

  4. Copy and save the SID and Secret locally on your PC
    ATTENTION this is the only chance to copy and save a Secret. After clicking the Done button, it will be hidden. (Fig. 4)

Application SID

 

To get the Application SID you need to do the following steps.

  1. In the Console | Twilio go to the following menu Develop - Voice - Manage - TwiML apps (Fig. 5)

  2. If this tab (Voice) is not in the left menu, you need to add it via Explore Products (Fig. 6)

  3. Create a new TwiML App (Fig. 7)

  4. Then you will need to put the Request URL and choose the Request Method:
    Request URL - [Address of the Creatio application]/0/ServiceModel/VvtTwilioServiceHelper.svc/MakeOutgoingCall
    Request Method - ‘GET’

  5. Press create to save to Creatio TwiML App SID. (Fig. 9). This is our Application SID

Once Twilio account is set up, please also set up Creatio server using this instruction Anonymous endpoint settings in Creatio.

The API key (SID) & API token (Secret) that you have created using this instruction will be needed for the Setting Up Telephony for the User.
