Use Twilio with PolyAI to use your existing phone numbers, SMS infrastructure, and contact center setup.

​
Why use Twilio with PolyAI

If your organization already uses Twilio for telephony, you can connect your existing numbers rather than purchasing new ones. This lets you:
  • Keep your current numbers – No need to port or change numbers your customers already know.
  • Use Twilio SMS – Send SMS messages during or after calls for confirmations, links, or follow-ups.
  • Hand off to live agents – Transfer calls from your PolyAI agent to your team with a SIP REFER.
