Configuring Twilio with the ZEMS Incoming Webhook

Configure a Twilio number with the incoming ZEMS webhook. When you use an incoming webhook with a base parameter, you can use the same incoming webhook for multiple numbers from the same Twilio account. The webhook can target one or more groups and users by using URL query parameters.
  1. Open Twilio.com and navigate to
    Phone Numbers
    Manage
    Active Numbers.

  2. Click the Twilio number you want to assign the incoming ZEMS webhook to and scroll down to the
    Messaging
    section.
