Twilio
Send SMS, voice, WhatsApp, and email from any myai canvas, function, or chat — programmable communications via Twilio.
Twilio is the programmable-communications layer most teams reach for when they need to actually contact someone — SMS to a customer's phone, WhatsApp to an international buyer, voice calls for verification, transactional email when the in-app channel isn't enough. When the integration lands, any function that needs to reach a human directly will be able to do it through Twilio without anyone hand-rolling the API client.
What you'll be able to do
- Send SMS from automations — a workflow ends, a phone gets a text. Order confirmation, appointment reminder, fraud alert, whatever fits.
- WhatsApp for global reach — for customers and prospects outside SMS's strongest markets, the same integration handles WhatsApp Business messaging.
- Programmable voice — initiate a verification call, place a callback, route an inbound call to the right destination based on context.
- Transactional email via SendGrid — Twilio's email arm is in the same credential, so triggered notifications can flow over email when SMS isn't appropriate.
- Trigger on inbound — a customer reply to an SMS or WhatsApp message kicks off a downstream function (CRM update, escalation, agent ping).
How it'll work
Connect via your Twilio Account SID + Auth Token (or API Key for finer-grained permissions). myai stores the credential once and any function in the workspace can fan out a Twilio request without re-implementing auth.

- High-priority customer alerts for the moments when in-app notifications aren't enough — verified incidents, payment failures, scheduled outages.
- Two-way messaging workflows — outbound SMS prompts a customer reply, the reply triggers the next workflow step (rescheduling, confirmation, escalation).
- Internal on-call escalation — automated paging when an andon fires and the primary on-call doesn't acknowledge within a defined window.
