Twilio SMS integration

Twilio SMS delivers incident alerts as text messages, which is handy for on-call engineers who are away from a screen. You need a Twilio account with an SMS-capable phone number.

Get your Twilio credentials

1. Sign in to the Twilio Console. Copy your Account SID and Auth Token from the dashboard.
2. Buy or use an existing SMS-capable Twilio phone number. This is the number alerts are sent from.

Add the notification in Checkmate

1. Open Notifications in the sidebar.
2. Click Create notification and pick Twilio SMS.
3. Enter:
   • Account SID and Auth Token — from the Twilio Console.
   • From number — your Twilio phone number, in E.164 format (for example +14155552671).
   • To number — the recipient's phone number, in E.164 format.
4. Click Test, then Save.

Each alert sends one message containing the monitor name, type, and current status. Standard Twilio per-message charges apply.
