Twilio WhatsApp integration

Twilio WhatsApp Business API

Twilio WhatsApp is Twilio's WhatsApp Business Platform integration — Twilio handles the BSP relationship with Meta, you send WhatsApp messages via Twilio's familiar API. Tiny Command exposes one action, no triggers (Twilio delivers inbound WhatsApp messages via webhooks configured per-number; point at a Tiny Command webhook trigger URL): Send WhatsApp Message (send text, media, or template message via Twilio's WhatsApp number). The connection uses Twilio account credentials plus a Twilio WhatsApp-enabled phone number. For workflows that want WhatsApp Business messaging but already have Twilio for SMS/voice, Twilio WhatsApp is the natural choice — same auth, same dashboard, same conventions. For Twilio-shop teams, this avoids managing a second BSP relationship. For WhatsApp-only with no Twilio dependency, the direct Meta Cloud API is cheaper and more feature-rich.
