What is required to integrate Twilio with Webhooks by Zapier?
To integrate Twilio with Webhooks by Zapier, you'll need an active Twilio account and a Zapier account. In your Zap, set up Twilio as the trigger or action app depending on your workflow needs. You'll also need a webhook URL from Zapier that you will configure within your Twilio console.
How can I use Twilio as a trigger in my Zap?
When setting up Zaps, you can use 'Incoming SMS' or 'New Call' as triggers from Twilio. This means whenever you receive a message or call, the Zap will activate and push data using Webhooks by Zapier to initiate designated actions in other apps.
Can I set up multiple actions with a single webhook integration?
