The Twilio Connector in Rayven.io enables you to integrate Twilio’s SIM usage tracking and other API-powered communications features into your workflows.
What It Does
-
Connects to the Twilio Wireless API to retrieve SIM usage records.
-
Automates event-based triggers for monitoring connected devices.
-
Supports secure authentication using Account SID and Auth Token.
-
Can be extended to use any Twilio API endpoint via the HTTP Request Node.

Configuration Fields
| Field | Requirement | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Node Name* | Required | Internal name for the node. |
| Endpoint | Required | The specific Twilio API operation to use (e.g., SIM UsageRecord). |
| API URL* | Required | Twilio API endpoint URL for the selected operation. |
| SIM SID | Required | Unique identifier for the SIM whose usage data you want to retrieve. |
| Account SID | Required | Your Twilio Account SID for authentication. |
| Auth Token | Required | Your Twilio Auth Token for authentication. |
| Trigger | Optional | Enable to run the node on a schedule or event. |
| Interval Between Trigger Events | Optional | Time gap between automated trigger executions. |

Adding Custom Endpoints
If your needed operation is missing:
-
Use the HTTP Request Node
-
Select Twilio as the credential type.
-
Provide:
-
API endpoint URL (Twilio API Docs)
-
HTTP method (GET, POST, etc.)
-
Headers and payload as required.
-
-
-
Request a New Endpoint from Rayven Support
-
Provide the Twilio API method name and required parameters.
-
Most requests are added within 72 hours.
-
Authentication
| Method | Notes |
|---|---|
| Account SID & Auth Token | Required for all operations. Found in Twilio Console under Account Info. |
Best Practices
-
Store credentials securely in Rayven’s Credential Manager.
-
Test in Twilio’s Test Credentials mode (Test Credentials Docs) before production.
-
Apply filters to reduce unnecessary API calls and avoid rate limits (Rate Limits Docs).
Use Cases
-
Monitoring SIM data usage for IoT devices.
-
Triggering alerts when SIM usage exceeds a threshold.
-
Tracking connectivity status across multiple devices.
-
Integrating SIM usage with cost reporting workflows.
