How to Set Up a Twilio Account for GoHighLevel

Twilio Account for GoHighLevel

Twilio is a calling, SMS, and WhatsApp provider that lets you purchase and use phone numbers for your clients and marketing campaigns.

To use the service with GoHighLevel, you need to set up an account with Twilio. This is free and doesn’t require a credit card to get started. 

When your account is activated, you will be provided with a trial phone number; however, its use is limited. If you want to use Twilio fully from within the GoHighLevel platform, you must upgrade your Twilio account by purchasing a phone number for $1.15.

How to Use Twilio with GoHighLevel

Once you have set up and verified your Twilio account, you must copy and paste the account SID and the Auth Token into the GoHighLevel platform.

You can find where to do this by clicking on Settings while in Agency view and selecting Phone Settings – Twilio.

Now, exit the Agency view and enter one of your sub-accounts. Click on Settings and then Phone Numbers. Here, you can purchase Twilio phone numbers without having to leave the GoHighLevel platform.

Click on “Add Number,” and a pop-up box will appear asking you to choose a country.

Add Number

Select the country and area code you want to use, and a list of available numbers will appear. Choose the one you like the look of and hit Save.

Once you have completed this step, you will be able to use the phone number for any SMS, phone, and WhatsApp campaigns you create in the GoHighLevel platform.

Please note that, at the very least, you will need to purchase a phone number for each sub-account (client) that you have. If you are running multiple campaigns for your sub-accounts, purchasing a phone number for each campaign is also advisable to keep each one fully separate.

After clicking on this, a pop-up will ask you to choose the source account. This is where you want to import the numbers from (in this case, it’s your Twilio master account). 

Next, select the phone number you wish to import, then choose the destination account (this is the sub-account in the GoHighLevel platform to which you want to assign the number).

You can repeat this process until you have imported all the desired numbers from Twilio to GoHighLevel.

Is There an Alternative to Twilio?

It is no longer necessary to rely on Twilio for calling and messaging services. GoHighLevel has introduced its own in-platform service called LC – Phone System.

Migrating over to LC – Phone System is easy. All you need to do is go to Settings while in the Agency dashboard. Then, select Phone System – Twilio. Here, you will see the option to switch to LC – Phone System. A couple of clicks, and the system will automatically shift everything over.
