How to connect Creatomate and Twilio
Create a New Scenario to Connect Creatomate and Twilio
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

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

Add the Creatomate Node
Select the Creatomate node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Creatomate, Twilio, and any additional nodes, don’t 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 “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Creatomate and Twilio integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Creatomate 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 Creatomate and Twilio
Creatomate + Twilio + Google Sheets: When a new video render is completed in Creatomate, a Twilio SMS message is sent with the video link. The video link and recipient's number are then logged in a Google Sheet for tracking.
Twilio + Creatomate + Airtable: Upon receiving a new SMS message via Twilio, the message content is used to render a video in Creatomate. The Twilio number and the generated video's link are then logged as a new record in Airtable.
