  • Then, click on "Create Messaging Service".
  • Name it and select what you want to use Messaging for, then go to Step 2. 
  • Here, setting up a Sender is not necessary for SMS, so you can go to Step 3. 
  • Here, under "Incoming Messages", select "Send a webhook" then paste your own "Request URL" to both input fields. The Request URL can be at the top of SAAS First's Twilio SMS Integration page. Please be sure that both of the fields are set to "HTTP Post". 
  • Under "Delivery Status Callback", insert the same URL. After that, you can go to Step 4. 
  • If you live in the USA, please read the "What is A2P 10DLC?"

  • Select all the countries you will want to send SMS to. 
  • After this, click on "Save geo permissions".
