Describe the SMS flow you want in chat and Rocket generates the complete logic - message templates, sending API calls, phone number formatting, and delivery tracking.
## What you can do
One-time codes for account verification, email confirmation, or identity checks.
An extra layer of security with SMS-based verification during login.
SMS notifications when order status changes, from confirmation to delivery.
Automated SMS reminders before scheduled appointments, meetings, or events.
Time-sensitive alerts for system events, threshold warnings, or custom triggers.
## Before you connect
You need three values from the [Twilio Console](https://console.twilio.com/):
* **Account SID** - found on the Twilio Console dashboard
* **Auth Token** - found on the Twilio Console dashboard
* **From Phone Number** - your Twilio number in E.164 format, e.g. `+15551234567`
**How to find your Auth Token and Account SID** - Twilio Help Center
Never paste your Account SID or Auth Token directly into chat. Always use the secure connection popup.
Twilio is a **task-level** connector. Each Rocket task connects to its own Twilio credentials independently.
## Connect Twilio
You can connect from two places - both open the same popup.
**Option 1: From chat**
Type a prompt that mentions SMS - for example, `Connect Twilio and send an SMS verification code when a user signs up`. Rocket detects the intent and shows a **Connect** button inline. Click it and the popup opens.
**Option 2: From the Connectors tab**
Click the **`...`** button in the preview toolbar, then select **Connectors**.
Click the **Twilio** card, then click **Connect**.
**After clicking Connect**
A popup opens. Enter your **Account SID**, **Auth Token**, and **From Phone Number**, then click **Connect**.
A green dot appears next to Twilio when the connection is active.
**Update or disconnect**
Go to [**Connectors > Twilio**](#connect-twilio). Click **Edit** to update your credentials or **Disconnect** to remove the integration.

## Tips
* **Pair with Supabase.** Rocket stores verification codes and user phone numbers in Supabase. Connect Supabase before Twilio for the best results.
* **Trial accounts have restrictions.** On a Twilio trial account, you can only send SMS to verified numbers. Upgrade before going live.
* **Phone numbers must be in E.164 format.** Always include the country code, e.g. `+15551234567`.
* **SMS costs vary by country.** Twilio charges per message based on destination. Check [Twilio's pricing page](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/sms/pricing/us) for current rates.
* **One Twilio account per task.** Each Rocket task connects to one set of Twilio credentials. Use different tasks for different Twilio accounts.
