Twilio & Telnyx Integration

Connect Your Phone Numbers for SMS Review Requests

This feature is ideal for those who prefer using their own messaging provider for sending SMS review requests.

Twilio Integration Steps:

1. Navigate to "Settings" >> "SMS Service" >> "Twilio" in HiFive.

2. Enter your Twilio "Account SID" and "Auth Token" (available on the Twilio console homepage).

3. Select the phone number from the dropdown menu.

4. Click "Save" to activate the service.

Once activated, all SMS sent will utilize the Twilio Messaging service.

Important Note: Your HiFive subscription includes complimentary SMS sending with our shared numbers. Opt for Twilio or Telnyx integration as an optional service if you prefer using your own numbers for a more personalized touch.

If you are sending SMS to United States numbers, your number must have an approved registered 10DLC campaign. 10DLC registration is not required when sending from our pool of numbers. Learn more

Telnyx Integration Steps:

1. Navigate to "Settings" >> "SMS Service" >> "Telnyx" in HiFive.

2. Enter your Telnyx "API Key" (available on the Telnyx console homepage).

3. Select the phone number from the dropdown menu.

4. Click "Save" to activate the service.

Once activated, all SMS sent will utilize the Telnyx Messaging service.

Telnyx, as a US carrier, typically approves 10DLC campaigns faster than Twilio, often within 24 hours. This quicker approval time is why we recommend Telnyx.

Best Use Case

Integrating your own messaging provider is ideal for businesses that prioritize brand consistency and want customers to recognize a dedicated phone number for all review requests. It is also the best option for high-volume senders who require granular control over messaging logs and geographic permissions.

For those specifically targeting the United States market, integrating with Telnyx is highly recommended to take advantage of significantly faster 10DLC campaign approval times.
