Add SMS, Voice, and Video to Your App with Twilio

Bookuvai integrates Twilio's communication APIs into your product for transactional SMS, two-factor authentication, voice calls, and video conferencing.

Integration: Twilio (Communication)

Twilio provides programmable communication APIs for SMS, voice, video, and messaging channels like WhatsApp. Bookuvai builds Twilio integrations that handle transactional notifications, OTP-based two-factor authentication, IVR phone trees, video conferencing rooms, and omnichannel messaging. We configure delivery tracking, fallback routing, and compliance with carrier regulations so your communications reach users reliably.

  • Two-Factor Authentication: Implement Twilio Verify for OTP codes via SMS, voice call, or email with rate limiting, fraud detection, and configurable code expiration.
  • Voice & IVR Systems: Build programmable voice flows with call routing, IVR menus, call recording, voicemail transcription, and conference calling.
  • Video Conferencing: Create video rooms with screen sharing, recording, virtual backgrounds, and participant management using Twilio Video SDK.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you integrate both SMS and WhatsApp in the same system?
Yes. Twilio's Messaging API supports omnichannel delivery. We build a unified notification service that routes messages to SMS, WhatsApp, or email based on user preferences and channel availability.
How do you handle SMS delivery failures?
We implement delivery status callbacks, automatic fallback to alternative channels, retry logic for transient failures, and alerting for persistent delivery issues.
Is Twilio Verify better than building OTP from scratch?
For most projects, yes. Twilio Verify handles rate limiting, fraud detection, and multi-channel delivery out of the box, saving 20-30 hours of custom development and ongoing maintenance.
