Plugin Description This plugin seamlessly connects your Bubble application with Twilio’s WhatsApp capabilities. You can quickly send and view WhatsApp messages through a simple, intuitive setup—enabling real-time communication and updates for your users.

1. Create or log into your Twilio account
   • Head over to https://www.twilio.com/ and create an account, or sign in if you already have one.
     
2. Get your Twilio Credentials
   • From your Twilio Console dashboard, locate your Account SID and Auth Token.
     
   • These credentials allow the plugin to communicate securely with your Twilio account.
     
3. Enable WhatsApp in Twilio
   • Under Messaging, select Try it out → Send a WhatsApp message and follow the prompts to activate the Twilio WhatsApp Sandbox.
     
   • Send the provided code (e.g. “join <xxxxxx>”) from your personal WhatsApp number to the Twilio Sandbox number (often +14155238886
     ) so you can test messages.
     

1. Register Your Phone Number
   • Once you’ve joined the WhatsApp Sandbox, your personal phone number is considered authorized for testing. You’ll be able to send and receive messages with that number.
     
2. Testing in the Sandbox
   • Use the Sandbox number (e.g. whatsapp:+14155238886
     ) as your “From” address.
     
   • The authorized number you just joined from will be your “To” address when sending a test message.
     
3. Move to Production (Optional)
   • For an official WhatsApp Business profile (removing the “sandbox” header in messages), request access in Twilio. Once approved, you can connect a dedicated phone number for your business.
     

1. Enter Your Credentials
   • In Bubble’s Plugin settings, provide your Account SID and Auth Token. Make sure they match what’s in your Twilio Console.
     
2. Configure Your WhatsApp Numbers
   • In the relevant workflow actions, you will specify your Twilio “From” number (e.g. whatsapp:+14155238886
     ) and the recipient’s “To” number (e.g. whatsapp:+1234567890
     ).
     
3. Send and View Messages
   • Once set up, you can seamlessly exchange WhatsApp messages with any user whose number is opted into your Twilio WhatsApp channel.
     
   • For conversation logs, check your Twilio Console or display the messages within your Bubble app as needed (e.g. in repeating groups or custom dashboards).
