SMS notifications can also be sent with the
Twilio Alarm Notification module. This does not require a cellular modem,
but the Gateway must have Internet access, and a Twilio account with SMS capabilities must be created
(www.twilio.com). Once created, the account must be defined in Ignition.
Define a Twilio Account
- Navigate to the Config section of the Gateway Webpage.
- Scroll down and choose Twilio > Accounts.

- On the Twilio Accounts page, click the Create new Twilio Account link.

- Provide a Name for the account as well as the Twilio Account Sid, and Twilio Auth Token.
Both the Account SID and Auth Token can be retrieved from the Account Settings menu in Twilio. - If desired, provide the Public Hostname. This is the hostname or IP address that inbound requests will be forwarded. If the users should be able to acknowledge alarms by responding to the SMS messages, then this property should list a publicly reachable hostname or IP address.
- Click the Create New Twilio Account button.
Once the account has been defined, a Twilio SMS notification profile must also be created.
