I this video we will look at the Twilio SMS API Tutorial. Through Twilio's SMS API we can send SMS To Users From Your Website or Application.
We need to create an account with Twilio so go to twilio.com and click on the signup page to create a new account.
Once you are verified you will come to this page.
Here we will configure twilio for the services we want to use.
I will select SMS as the product that I want to use for this video, and then I want to use this to send notifications to users of my application or website but you can choose based on the use case that you have for your website.
I am redirected to console.twilio.com where on the home page I can see an account Id and auth token generated for me.
As it says over here, you have to store your auth token securely so that that no body can use your Id and token to access the apis that twilio offers.
If you have a front end website that want's to send sms's to users, please use an API or serverless code of your choice and then send SMS's from there.
I also have been given a trial balance of $15 which is perfect for this demo, you can add your billing details and go to pricing to check how much does it take send and recieve messages with Twilio.
