It answers in plain English, with the source, the date checked and how sure it is. - **Explains why a text failed:** Give it the error and it explains the cause, the fix and who on your team should make the change. - **Keeps a register of your Twilio setup:** Accounts, numbers, webhooks and registrations in one place, with an as-of date and the owner of each piece. - **Guides registration and consent:** US business texting registration and toll-free verification, Canadian texting and the consent and recording rules for each jurisdiction. - **Reviews cost and security:** It looks for cheaper setups and weak spots, such as shared keys, and files each fix with the person who owns it. - **Watches for Twilio changes:** Every week it checks Twilio's own updates, from rule changes to security notices, and flags anything that affects you. ## How the Twilio Expert differs from decoding delivery errors yourself Decoding error codes and rule changes yourself eats hours and often points at the wrong cause. The Twilio Expert explains each failure in plain English with the fix and the owner, keeps one register of your numbers and checks Twilio's changes against your setup every week. It never logs in, sends a text or changes anything, and every spending decision stays yours. ## How it works 1. **Map your setup** (At the start): It records your accounts, numbers, webhooks and registrations in a register, with who owns each one. 2. **Ask anything** (Whenever a question comes up): Your team asks about a blocked text, a new number, a client setup or a consent rule, and gets a short, sourced answer. 3. **Watch and review** (Every week): Each week it checks Twilio's changes against your setup and looks for cost and security issues. 4. **Recommend the fix** (When it finds something to fix): Every needed change goes to its owner as a clear recommendation, with the steps, the risks and the expected effect. 5. **You approve, people act** (you approve) (Before any change or spend): You approve any change or spend, and the right person on your team makes it. The agent never changes your accounts. ## When to use it - **Your appointment reminders stopped arriving:** Learn what the error means, whether registration or filtering is the cause and who should fix it. - **You want to text customers in Canada:** Find out which kind of number works best there and what consent you need before the first message. - **You are adding an AI phone line:** Get the call recording and consent rules for each place you operate, and what is only proposed. - **Nobody is sure which number does what:** The register shows every number, what uses it and who owns it, with the date it was last checked. - **Your Twilio bill keeps creeping up:** A cost review shows where the money goes and which setup changes could lower it. ## What you get - Short, sourced answers to Twilio questions - A register of your accounts, numbers, webhooks and registrations - Plain explanations of delivery errors, with the fix and the owner - Registration and consent guidance for the US and Canada - Cost and security reviews with clear recommendations - A weekly check of Twilio changes that affect your setup ## Example: Twilio account health, compliance and cost review Example with a fictional company. Names, people and figures are invented to show the agent's output. Any resemblance to a real company or person is unintended. What it was asked: Is our Twilio set-up healthy, compliant and secure, why are some texts not arriving, and where are we overspending? This is an illustrative example of the account review Twilio Expert is being built to produce: number register, delivery and consent check, security review, and cost review with an action plan. It was written by hand from the agent's design for an invented company with invented numbers, usage and figures. No real accounts, systems or people were involved, and nothing was sent, posted or changed. Run date: 14 October 2026. ### What it found - 94.1% of September's 18,420 texts were delivered; 813 of the 1,087 failures trace to promotions sent on a reminders-only registration and Canadian texts from local numbers. - Four of seven security checks are open, the most serious being one main account key shared by three apps. - About $144 a month of savings was found on a $1,286 September bill, mainly by shortening the reminder text and releasing 4 idle numbers.

People make every change. - New numbers, registration fees and plan changes are spending decisions, and they are always yours. - It never repeats a password, token or key. If one is shared with it, it treats it as exposed and advises rotating it. - Consent and calling rules are shared as information, not legal advice. Real compliance decisions go to you and your counsel. ## Frequently asked questions ### What does it take to set up business texting properly?
