Integrate Opsgenie with Twilio
Overview
What does the integration offer?
Twilio sends webhooks when its app monitor triggers are fired. Opsgenie offers a Twilio integration that turns triggered notifications into meaningful and robust Opsgenie alerts. Forward these webhooks to Opsgenie to notify users via iPhone and Android push notifications, email, SMS, and phone calls, to track the alert life cycle, escalate alerts, etc.
Set up the integration
Twilio is an API-based integration. Setting it up involves the following steps:
Add a Twilio integration in Opsgenie
