How to connect ConvertAPI and Twilio
Create a New Scenario to Connect ConvertAPI and Twilio
In the workspace, click the βCreate New Scenarioβ button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node β a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a ConvertAPI, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, ConvertAPI or Twilio will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find ConvertAPI or Twilio, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring ConvertAPI, Twilio, and any additional nodes, donβt forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking βRun onceβ and triggering an event to check if the ConvertAPI and Twilio integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between ConvertAPI and Twilio (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect ConvertAPI and Twilio
ConvertAPI + Twilio + Google Sheets: This flow monitors for new messages via Twilio. If a message contains a media file, ConvertAPI converts it to text. The extracted text and message details are then added as a new row in a Google Sheet.
Twilio + ConvertAPI + Email: When a new message is received in Twilio containing media, ConvertAPI converts the attached image to a PDF. The resulting PDF is then sent as an attachment via email.
