What is Twilio?
Twilio is a cloud communications platform for SMS delivery.
Use it for verifications, alerts, order updates, and automated notifications.
Your Twilio credentials stay safe with Rocket.
They are encrypted at rest and never exposed, so you can connect with confidence.

​
Before you begin

You’ll need:
  • A Rocket account at rocket.new.
  • A Twilio account.
  • A Supabase project connected to your Rocket app.
If you plan to support OTP login, status updates, or personalized notifications, make sure Supabase Auth is enabled.
Rocket can link SMS messages to authenticated user IDs for secure, personalized delivery.
