Twilio Integration

Via Zapier

AgencyPro connects to Twilio through Zapier, not a built-in integration. A Zap can send an SMS or WhatsApp message through your Twilio number when an AgencyPro event fires, for example when an invoice is created or a request is completed.

Connects via Zapier

AgencyPro connects with Twilio through Zapier, not a native built-in integration. You build automated workflows ("Zaps") with the AgencyPro app on Zapier, which has triggers for clients, requests, tickets, invoices, payments and order forms. You need the AgencyPro Plus plan and a Zapier account. Zapier's Free plan runs two-step Zaps; multi-step Zaps and premium apps need a paid Zapier plan.

Why connect Twilio with AgencyPro

For clients who do not read email, a text message gets noticed. With Zapier, AgencyPro events such as Invoice Created or Request Updated can run Twilio's Send SMS or Send WhatsApp Message action from your Twilio number.

You pay Twilio for numbers and messages at Twilio's rates, and you are responsible for consent rules such as TCPA in the US. WhatsApp sending needs an approved WhatsApp sender in Twilio.
