How to setup SMS notifications for status page subscribers

Connect your own Twilio account to send status updates to your subscribers via SMS. You will be billed directly to your Twilio account.

To follow this tutorial, you will need a Hyperping account, which you can create from the Hyperping new account registration page if you don't already have one.

Connect Twilio

  1. Connect your Twilio account

    The Twilio setup is made at the project level, from the Integrations page, since a project can contain multiple status pages.

    The Twilio Connect button will redirect you to the authentication page. If you aren't signed up yet, a registration form will be presented to you. By granting Hyperping permission to your account, you allow us to buy and send SMS via your account.

  2. Enable SMS notifications for your status page

    Once your Twilio account is connected, open any status page of the project and go to Settings → Notifications. Under Subscription channels, enable SMS.
