Twilio integration with AI agents for SMS and WhatsApp
Twilio is an API communications platform for SMS, voice, WhatsApp and email. Companies and tech teams use Twilio to build messaging and calls into their own systems. The agent uses the Twilio API, with your company's account credentials, to send and receive SMS and WhatsApp messages and to look up call records.
What AI agents do with Twilio
Reminders that wait for a reply
The agent sends visit or appointment reminders by SMS or WhatsApp through Twilio and understands the customer's reply. Rescheduling is done in the calendar without a person in between.
WhatsApp through your Twilio account
If your company already uses WhatsApp Business through Twilio, the agent answers on that same number. Approved templates are available to start conversations.
Call logs in the CRM
The agent reads the authorized call records and recordings and notes the call duration and summary in the CRM. Managers can follow volume per sales rep.
Message cost control
The agent tracks Twilio account spend by message type and warns when the month is running above expectations. The agent's cost ceiling prevents sends outside the plan.
