Integration · Twilio SMS Notifications
Lead alerts by text, from your own Twilio number.
InstantResponse.AI uses Twilio to send SMS alerts to your team the moment a new or qualified lead comes in. It's a delivery channel for outbound notifications - not a lead capture source - so the right teammate gets pinged with a one-tap link into the conversation.
Twilio powers the SMS side of team notifications. Bring your own Twilio number or use ours, and InstantResponse.AI sends alerts to owners, dispatchers, and on-call staff whenever a lead comes in from Google LSA, Yelp, Thumbtack, phone, or your website.
