Documentation • Twilio SMS Setup

Connect Twilio SMS to your Fluxify Digital account

A step-by-step walkthrough for getting your Twilio credentials ready so you can activate SMS sending — OTPs, reminders, campaigns and quick-send messages — inside FluxOS.

~15 minute setup Powers the SMS module No coding required

Fast to activate

Create an account and grab a number in minutes — no lengthy business verification required to get started.

Global reach

Send transactional and marketing SMS to virtually any country with reliable carrier delivery.

Pay as you go

Per-segment pricing with no long-term contracts, so cost scales directly with what you send.

Setup steps

Follow these steps in order. You'll finish with three values — Account SID, Auth Token, and a phone number — that you'll enter into FluxOS to switch on SMS for your account.

Create a free Twilio account

Sign up at twilio.com/try-twilio and verify your email and phone number. New accounts include trial credit, so you can send test messages right away.

Get an SMS-capable phone number

In the Twilio Console → Phone Numbers → Buy a Number, search for a number with the SMS capability enabled.

• Pick a number local to where most of your recipients are, to reduce carrier filtering.
• Sending to the US/Canada in volume may require registering an A2P 10DLC campaign — we can guide you if this applies.

Copy your API credentials

On the Twilio Console dashboard, copy your Account SID and Auth Token.

Account SID: AC xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Auth Token: •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• (click to reveal)

Keep your Auth Token secret — treat it like a password and never share it in public channels.

(Optional) Test it yourself

Want to confirm your credentials work before sending them to us? Run this from your terminal, replacing the placeholders:

curl -X POST "https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACxxxxx/Messages.json" \ --data-urlencode "From=+1234567890" \ --data-urlencode "To=+60123456789" \ --data-urlencode "Body=Hello from Fluxify Digital!" \ -u ACxxxxx:your_auth_token

A successful response returns a message sid and a status of queued or sent.

Activate SMS inside FluxOS

Log in to FluxOS and follow the in-app instructions to enter your Account SID, Auth Token and phone number — SMS sending activates on your account as soon as they're saved.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. SMS is sent from your own Twilio number using your own credentials, so you have full visibility over delivery logs and billing in your Twilio Console.

Standard SMS messages are billed in 160-character segments (or 70 characters if the message contains unicode/emoji). Longer messages are split into multiple segments and billed accordingly.

Carriers filter unregistered bulk traffic, especially to US numbers. If you plan to send at volume to US recipients, you'll likely need an A2P 10DLC campaign registered — let us know and we can walk you through it.

You can port an existing number into Twilio, but porting typically takes 7-14 business days. Most teams start with a new Twilio number and port later if needed.

Yes — credentials you enter in FluxOS are stored encrypted and are only used server-side to authenticate SMS requests on your behalf.
