Connect your own Twilio account

Booth.Events sends texts for you - you do not need your own Twilio account. Sending texts with Booth.Events is included in your plan, you do not pay extra for it.

But if you want to connect your own account, for example to control what phone number texts originate from, or to send to a country we do not support, then you can! This feature requires a Pro+ subscription.

For Experts only: it's not easy to operate your own Twilio account. You'll need to understand how to register your A2P campaign & comply with laws in each jurisdiction you operate in.

No support: if you connect your own Twilio account, you're on your own to troubleshoot any problems you hit, such as text messages not arriving.


Account Page, Sharing Settings -> Text Settings

Go to your Account page, and open the Text Settings screen:


On the Text Settings screen, select Use my own Twilio account:

Enter your Twilio information as requested, from your Twilio console. You must enter a value for Max $USD per SMS. This value represents the maximum you are willing to pay per text message. For example if you put $0.10, then the most you will pay for 1000 messages is 1000 x $0.10 = $100.00


Then hit the Connect Account button. If you entered valid information, your account will be connected. You can then send a test to make sure it is working how you expect.


If you have trouble, disconnect your Twilio account and let Booth.Events send your texts; we can't help you with your Twilio account problems.
