  3. Purchase or set up a phone number in Twilio to send messages from

Plugin Configuration

Twilio SMS notification settings

In Settings » Fatal Error Notify » Twilio, enter:

  • Account SID: Your Twilio account SID
  • Auth Token: Your Twilio auth token
  • From Phone Number: The Twilio phone number to send messages from (include country code, e.g. +15551234567)
  • To Phone Number: The phone number to receive notifications at

Per-Channel Error Levels

You can configure which error levels trigger SMS notifications separately from email and Slack. Since SMS messages have a character limit and can get expensive at volume, most people configure Twilio to only send for the most critical errors (E_ERROR).

See Error Levels and Types for more on configuring these.
