Description

Product Description

The Twilio Notifications Module For WHMCS delivers important WHMCS system notifications directly to mobile phones through SMS. Using the Twilio API, it helps administrators, support teams, and business owners stay informed about selected activity without depending entirely on email or constant dashboard access.

Connect the module with your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token, configure the sending number, and define the recipients who should receive alerts. Event-based notification rules can then be used to send relevant updates for orders, invoices, support tickets, client activity, and other configured WHMCS events.

With support for multiple recipients and Twilio’s international messaging coverage, the module provides a practical SMS notification channel for teams that need important operational updates while away from their computers.

  3. Add Recipients: Define the mobile numbers that should receive WHMCS notifications.
  4. Create Event Rules: Choose which supported WHMCS activities should trigger an SMS message.
  5. Route Notifications: Direct different alerts to the appropriate phone numbers or team members.
