How do I connect Twilio to Cloze?
Note: The Twilio integration is included as part of the Cloze Business Gold and Platinum Plans.
Carriers like AT&T and Verizon, and services like iMessage and WhatsApp, don't let you automate sending text messages, but with Twillio you can. With Cloze Campaigns you can automatically send text messages using Twilio, Dialpad, or RingCentral.
Connect Twilio to Cloze to get started with automatically sending text messages via a Cloze Campaign. Twilio sending activity is also logged into the timeline of each contact.
Twilio also lets you forward both texts and calls to your real phone number.
- Forwarding SMS messages from your Twilio number to your mobile phone number
- Forwarding your calls from your Twilio number to your mobile phone number
