Configuration in Twilio

Implementing the SMS service requires some steps to be taken in the Twilio console and others in the S-Filer Portal administrative console.

The following steps are performed in the Twilio console and require the necessary permissions to create resources.

Step 1 - Connect to Twilio console

Log in to Twilio (https://www.twilio.com/login) using your browser and login details.

Step 2 - Get a phone number

Get a Twilio phone number by accessing the phone number management page (https://www.twilio.com/console/phone-numbers/incoming).

Use the Buy a number button to purchase a Twilio phone number.

Make sure your phone number is SMS and MMS compatible.

Once you've purchased your phone number, make a note of it. This phone number will be needed to configure S-Filer Portal.

Step 3 - Retrieve account SID

Refer to the account management page (https://www.twilio.com/console/project/settings) to retrieve the account SID.

Make a note of the account SID. This information will be needed to configure S-Filer Portal.

Step 4 - Create an API key

Access the API key management page (https://www.twilio.com/console/project/api-keys) to create a new API key.

Use the Create API Key button to create a new API key.

Give the API key a meaningful name, select Standard for the key type and click the Create button.

Take note of the API key SID and key value. This information will be needed to configure S-Filer Portal.
