To Add a Twilio Account

In the top right corner of the Accounts window, click Add Account.
Search and select Twilio from the available channels.
On the Add Twilio Account window, fill in the account details i.e. Display Name, Country Code, Phone Number, Account SID, and Token.
You can also switch to Short Code.
A short code is a special telephone number designed for high-throughput, two-way messaging. Short codes are used to send and receive SMS and MMS messages to and from mobile phones. Their name is derived from the fact that they are shorter (usually five to six digits) than their ten-digit long code counterparts.
If you’re sending more than a few hundred messages a day from a long code, your messages run the risk of being marked as spam. Short codes are pre-approved by carriers to have a high throughput and are not subject to carrier filtering. This makes them perfect for sending those high-volume or time-sensitive messages.
Click Save in the bottom right corner of the window.
