Twilio Add-ons Guide
Add-ons are pre-integrated partner technologies that let developers do more with the Twilio API. They make it possible to quickly build rich communications experiences by combining Twilio and third-party capabilities by giving you the ability to choose the right technology for your needs without having to learn, test, and manage different platforms.
Add-ons are available through the Twilio Marketplace; you can access the catalog here. There you can choose from a list of verified Add-ons and install them in a single click. Once installed, they enhance Twilio APIs to deliver the partner capability, such as returning the spam score of a phone number or providing sentiment analysis for a message.
With Add-ons, you get:
-
Catalog of vetted options: Browse Add-ons from a growing list of partners in the Twilio Marketplace. We verify each Add-on, so you don’t have to.
-
One-click integration: Enable Add-ons in a single click. New functionality is available through the same Twilio API, saving the time to learn a new platform.
-
Pay-as-you-go: Get started with no contracts or commitments. You will be billed through Twilio for what for what you use.
Add-ons are designed to simplify the process of integrating with disparate technologies & platforms that would otherwise involve:
-
Searching and vetting options
-
Learning the APIs that each vendor offers
-
Entering into contracts, establishing minimum commits
-
Building and testing the integration
-
Maintaining the integration as products from different companies evolve.
