You can create TwiML Apps to be used with your custom Twilio applications via Console, or the REST API. TwiML Apps point to a webhook, and can be used just like a normal webhook URL. They are also required for Twilio API Access Tokens used by a number of products. This guide explains how to create a TwiML, and how to use it on a phone number.
Create a TwiML App in Console
- Acces the TwiML Apps page in Console.
- Click Create new TwiML App.
- Fill out the TwiML App form as desired, and then click Create.
| Friendly Name | Enter the desired name for your app. |
| Voice Configuration | Enter the URL for your voice app webhook, and then select the desired method - POST or GET. Click Optional Settings to add a Fallback URL, Status Callback URL, or enable Caller Name Lookups. |
| Messaging Configuration | Enter the URL for your messaging app webhook, and then select the desired method - POST or GET. Click Optional Settings to add a Fallback URL, or Status Callback URL |
