Twilio has become the reference for programmable SMS and calls. When this API is down or slow, your critical notifications (2FA codes, urgent alerts, confirmations) no longer reach their destination.
MoniTao monitors your Twilio endpoints to detect problems before they impact your users. Get alerted on sending errors, abnormal latencies and credit issues.
Why Monitor Twilio API?
- Critical 2FA: If your verification codes don't arrive, users are blocked and support explodes.
- Costs and credits: A Twilio account without credit silently blocks all sends without visible code-side error.
- SMS regulations: Carriers can block your numbers for spam. Monitoring detects deliverability drops.
What MoniTao Monitors
- API Status: verification that Twilio API responds correctly with your credentials.
- Send latency: API response time measurement (not actual delivery).
- Credit balance: alert before your Twilio balance runs out.
Automate with MoniTao
- Error alerts: immediate notification if API returns 4xx or 5xx errors.
- Backup webhook: trigger fallback to another provider if Twilio is unavailable.
