Twilio Integration
Configure Twilio for voice communication in Tigy AI
Overview
Twilio is a cloud communications platform that enables voice calling, messaging, and video capabilities. Tigy AI's Twilio integration provides seamless connectivity for your voice agents.
Prerequisites
Before setting up Twilio integration, you'll need:
- A Twilio account
- Account SID and Auth Token from your Twilio Console
- At least one Twilio phone number
- Tigy AI instance running and accessible
Configuration
Step 1: Get Twilio Credentials
- Log in to your Twilio Console
- Find your Account SID and Auth Token on the dashboard
- Navigate to Phone Numbers → Manage → Active Numbers
- Copy your phone number(s)
Step 2: Configure in Tigy AI
- Navigate to /telephony-configurations and click Add configuration
- Select Twilio as your provider
- Enter your credentials:
- Account SID
- Auth Token
- Click Save Configuration
- Open the configuration you just created and add at least one phone number in E.164 format.
Step 3: Test Your Configuration
- Create a test agent
- Click "Call" to verify connection
- Check call logs for successful connection
Inbound Calling Setup
Inbound routing is driven by the phone number itself — there is a single webhook URL for the entire org, and Tigy AI resolves which agent to run from the called number's assigned inbound agent. When you save an inbound agent on a phone number, Tigy AI automatically pushes the webhook URL to that number's VoiceUrl in your Twilio account (provided the credentials are correct and the number belongs to that account).
Step 1: Assign an Inbound Agent to the Phone Number
- Go to /telephony-configurations and open your Twilio configuration
- In the Phone numbers section, edit the number that should receive inbound calls
- Set its Inbound agent to the agent that should answer
- Save
Step 2: Verify the Webhook URL in Twilio Console
- Go to Phone Numbers → Manage → Active Numbers in Twilio Console
- Click the phone number you assigned an inbound agent to in Step 1
- In the Voice Configuration section, confirm:
- Webhook is set to:
https://api.tigyai.com/api/v1/telephony/inbound/run - HTTP Method is
POST
- Webhook is set to:
Note
Tigy AI pushed this URL automatically when you saved the inbound agent in Step 1. If the field is empty, shows a different URL, or Tigy AI surfaced a sync warning, the auto-push failed — most often because the credentials are incorrect or the number isn't owned by this Twilio account. Paste the URL into the field yourself, set the method to
POST, and click Save Configuration. replaceapi.tigyai.comwith your backend domain.

Step 3: Verify Setup
- Ensure your Tigy AI instance is publicly accessible
- Verify any firewalls allow Twilio's IP ranges
Test Inbound Calling
- Call your configured Twilio phone number from another phone
- Verify your Tigy AI voice agent answers and responds
- Check call logs in both Tigy AI dashboard and Twilio Console
Troubleshooting
Invalid phone number error
Ensure phone numbers include country code in E.164 format: `+1234567890`
Authentication failed
- Verify Account SID and Auth Token are correct - Check for extra spaces in
credentials - Ensure credentials haven't been regenerated in Twilio Console
Webhook signature validation failing
- Confirm your Auth Token matches exactly - Verify the webhook URL matches
what Twilio sends - Check if you're behind a proxy that modifies requests
No audio on calls
- Verify WebSocket connection is established - Check firewall rules for
WebSocket traffic - Ensure audio pipeline is configured correctly
Inbound calls go to voicemail
- Verify the Twilio number's webhook is set to
`https://api.tigyai.com/api/v1/telephony/inbound/run` - Ensure the webhook
URL is publicly accessible from the internet - Confirm the called number
exists in your Tigy AI telephony configuration and has an **Inbound
agent** assigned - Verify Tigy AI instance is running and responding
Voice agent doesn't respond to inbound calls
- Confirm the phone number has an **Inbound agent** assigned in
/telephony-configurations - Check webhook signature validation is working
(Auth Token in Tigy AI matches Twilio Console) - Verify WebSocket connection
establishes successfully - Review call logs for error messages
Best Practices
- Test your configuration with a single inbound call
- Monitor Twilio Console for usage and billing
