Twilio | Operate As Docs

Connect your client's Twilio with a key they paste, and call its API through Operate As.

Website: twilio.com
Connects by: Pasting a Auth token
Category: Phone and SMS
Services: 1
Tools: 864

Service	Key	Base URL
Twilio	`twilio`	`https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{account_sid}`

Your client also types their account sid (On your Twilio console's front page, starting AC).

Connecting

Your client makes a Auth token in their Twilio settings and pastes it on their link. Operate As tries it with Twilio before saving it, and stores it encrypted. See Services connected with an API key.

Pass-through

Paths continue from https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{account_sid}, with the parts in braces filled in from your client's account. Your Operate As key goes in Authorization; the client's access is added for you.

See Pass-through requests for the full request and response format.

When access ends

A key works until your client deletes it in Twilio. They can paste a new one on the same link at any time, and your workflows carry on without changes.

See Keeping access alive and Removing access.
