Integration of Mautic and Twilio

Mautic integrates with many other services such as MailChimp, Salesforce, Appy Pie Connect, Google Analytics, etc. However, it does not have an official integration with Twilio. However, since Twilio offers an API that allows integration with a variety of other services, you can easily integrate it with Mautic.

In this section I will explain how to do this so that you can create automated SMS campaigns to your subscribers based on certain triggers.

First you need to obtain an API key from Twilio. You can get it here. https://www.twilio.com/user/account/api-keysew

Second you will need to create a user in Mautic. Create one then go to the “Settings” tab and click on “Integrations” in the left menu. In the “Integrations” tab click the “New Integration” button on the top right corner. Then choose “Twilio SMS” in the dropdown menu and give the integration a name like “Twilio SMS Marketing Automation” (you can change it later.

After that place the fplowing code in the “Twilio Integration Code” box:

<?php

$auth_token = "YOUR AUTH TOKEN";

$client_sid = "YOUR TWILIO CLIENT SID";

$twiml = new Services_Twilio($auth_token);

$to = "5555555555"; // REPLACE WITH YOUR NUMBER!

$messageSid = "YOUR TWILIO MESSAGE SID";

// This function sends a message via twiml

function send_twiml( $to, $body . {

// Create TwiML document to respond to incoming messages

$twiml = new Services_Twilio_Twiml();

// Set values for our first TwiML response element

$subject = "Mautic Integration Test";

// Set values for our second TwiML response element
