How RocketHooks Works with Twilio

RocketHooks monitors Twilio’s API endpoints to track message delivery status, call logs, account usage, and balance changes. By polling Twilio’s API at configurable intervals, RocketHooks detects changes in your communication infrastructure and routes events via webhooks to your backend systems.

Works with any Twilio account including trial accounts.

Authentication Setup

Twilio uses Account SID and Auth Token for API authentication:

{
  "auth": {
    "type": "basic",
    "username": "YOUR_TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID",
    "password": "YOUR_TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN"
  }
}

Find your credentials in the Twilio Console dashboard.

Endpoint Examples

Monitor Message Delivery Status

Track SMS delivery status for outbound messages:

{
  "url": "https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/YOUR_SID/Messages.json?PageSize=20&DateSent>=2024-01-01",
  "method": "GET",
  "pollInterval": 60,
  "changeDetection": {
    "strategy": "jsonpath",
    "expression": "$.messages[*].status"
  }
}

Monitor Call Logs

Detect new inbound or outbound calls:

{
  "url": "https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/YOUR_SID/Calls.json?PageSize=10&Status=completed",
  "method": "GET",
  "pollInterval": 120,
  "changeDetection": {
    "strategy": "jsonpath",
    "expression": "$.calls[*].sid"
  }
}

Monitor Account Balance

Watch your Twilio account balance for unexpected usage:

{
  "url": "https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/YOUR_SID/Balance.json",
  "method": "GET",
  "pollInterval": 3600,
  "changeDetection": {
    "strategy": "jsonpath",
    "expression": "$.balance"
  }
}

Common Patterns

Delivery Monitoring

Monitor Twilio message delivery status to ensure your outbound SMS messages are being received. Detect failed deliveries and route alerts to your operations systems via webhooks for immediate remediation.

Usage Alerts

Track your Twilio account balance and usage patterns. When balance drops below a threshold or usage spikes unexpectedly, receive a webhook notification to take action before service interruption.

Call Analytics Pipeline

Poll Twilio call logs and route new call records via webhooks to your analytics or CRM system. Build real-time dashboards for call center activity without relying on Twilio’s native webhook infrastructure.

Delivery Channels

Webhooks: Route Twilio API change events to any HTTP endpoint with HMAC-signed payloads and automatic retries

Additional delivery channels (Slack, email, SMS) coming soon.
