Watch tutorial (2:20)With Twidget, you can send SMS messages to phones using the Send SMS command. This functionality varies depending on the provider. Currently, we support Twilio as the SMS provider.
To use Twilio for SMS integrations, you will need:
A Twilio account ID
Twilio Auth Token
A Twilio-provided phone number
These credentials can be obtained by registering with Twilio.
To send an SMS:
Provide Twilio Credentials: Ensure that your Twilio account ID and Auth Token are correctly populated in your API settings.
Specify Phone Numbers: Input the phone number that you wish to send the SMS to.
Enter the message content: Populate the receiver's message content
By default, SMS commands sent via testing mode will succeed without actually sending an SMS. This prevents accidental messages during development.

Provide Email Settings: If using custom settings, specify host, port, username, and password for your email provider.
Recipient Information: Populate the receiver's email, email subject, and email content.
