Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Twilio to your CData Connect Cloud account:

  1. Open the Connections page of the CData Connect Cloud dashboard.

  2. Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.

  3. Type Twilio into the search field, then click the data source name.

  4. On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

  5. Log in to your Twilio account.

  6. Select Account > Account Settings (on your account dashboard) to obtain your account credentials.

  7. Return to CData Connect Cloud.

  8. Enter the following information:

    • Account SID—the account SID of the current Twilio user

    • Auth Token—the auth token of the current Twilio user

  9. At the top of the CData Connect Cloud Add Twilio Connection page, click Save & Test.

    • If the connection test succeeds, a message indicates that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated.

    • If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. CData Connect Cloud displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.

    • Unsuccessful connections are saved as drafts and have a Status of Not Authenticated. You can return to the connection and authenticate it later.
