Overview

Automatically notify users or team members when actions happen in your app. This is useful for alerts, reminders, confirmations, and follow-ups. By connecting Zite to Twilio, you can:
  • Send SMS messages to US phone numbers
  • Send WhatsApp messages to users worldwide with API
  • Send messages to multiple users at once
  • Send 2FAs or one-time codes via SMS for extra security on sensitive actions
To send WhatsApp messages, recipients’ phone numbers must be added to your Twilio Sandbox.
