Twilio SMS
Twilio SMS lets Mobius send outbound text messages.
A Twilio SMS integration stores Twilio credentials for Mobius. Assistants can use those credentials to send SMS messages.
Use Twilio for urgent notifications and on-call escalation. SMS sends are external side effects, so avoid automatic retries unless the receiving system can tolerate duplicate messages.

Connect Twilio
| Surface | Support |
|---|---|
| App | Use the integration form when Twilio appears in Build > Integrations. |
| CLI | The mobius CLI does not connect Twilio integrations yet. Use the app or API. |
| API | Create an integration row with provider: "twilio", credentials account_sid and auth_token, and config from_number. |
Connect your own credentials for the Twilio account, sending number, and quota that should carry the message. Twilio SMS does not use a Mobius platform credential.
{
"name": "default",
"provider": "twilio",
"credentials": {
"account_sid": "<twilio-account-sid>",
"auth_token": "$TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN"
},
"config": {
"from_number": "+15551234567"
},
"controller": { "kind": "organization" }
}The example makes the number team-managed. In the app, an administrator can choose You or Your team before saving the credentials. Grant the exact connection to selected assistants under Assistant access.
Actions
twilio.send_smsUse E.164 phone numbers for to and from. If the action omits from, Mobius
uses the integration's configured from_number.
Sending a text runs without an automatic Mobius confirmation after the selected Twilio connection and assistant grant are rechecked. The grant's result audience does not validate the recipient number. Use Twilio-side restrictions or a narrower sending action when recipient policy must be enforced.
Events
Twilio SMS does not register inbound source events yet.
