The Twilio Command Line Interface (CLI) is a new open-source tool to unleash all the power of Twilio from the command line. All of Twilio's REST APIs are supported. The CLI makes it easy to do common tasks like purchase and manage phone numbers, view your SMS and call logs, view Debugger logs, and much more. Visit the docs here to get started.
Twilio SendGrid's Deliverability Insights is a streamlined in-app dashboard that empowers you to monitor and optimize your email program health. Deliverability Insights provides an actionable view of your email delivery performance over time with metrics segmented by top mailbox providers and consultative tool tips sourced from the email experts.
Deliverability Insights also includes new Bounce Classifications, which categorize more than 30 million cryptic SMTP responses into 7 digestible categories, helping you understand why messages are bouncing and what you can do about it.
We’re thrilled to announce that Video Insights is now available in Public Beta.
Video Insights brings self-service tooling to the Twilio console to help you observe application usage and quality, discover trends across all your rooms and participants, and troubleshoot issues with ease, leading to higher quality video experiences for your customers, reduced churn, and increased confidence in scaling rapidly.
