Before getting started, make sure Easy WP SMTP is installed and activated on your WordPress site and that you’ve verified your license.

Accessing Email Alerts Settings

Start by navigating to Easy WP SMTP » Settings from your WordPress dashboard. Once here, click on the Alerts tab.

Then scroll to the Twilio section. To use Twilio integration, you’ll need to have a Twilio phone number and add your account credentials to your site. Before doing this, ensure the SMS via Twilio Alerts option is set to the ON position.

Creating a Twilio Phone Number

If you don’t already have a Twilio phone number, you’ll need to create one. To do this, log in to your Twilio account and click the Get a Twilio phone number button.

Once your number has been successfully generated, you’re ready to continue setting up Twilio integration on your site.

Adding Twilio Account Credentials

First, copy your Account SID from the Twilio console.

Then, paste your Account SID into the Twilio Account ID field in Easy WP SMTP.

Next, you’ll need to copy the Auth Token from the Twilio console.

After that, paste the Auth Token in the Twilio Auth Token field in Easy WP SMTP.

Configuring Phone Numbers

Now, copy your Twilio phone number from the Twilio console.

In your Alerts settings in Easy WP SMTP, paste your Twilio phone number in the From Phone Number field.

Finally, add the phone number that will receive alerts in the To Phone Number field.

Once you’re done with this step, either save your settings or continue to add other integrations.
