Frequently asked questions

How do I connect Salesforce to Twilio?
Sign up for a free Arahi AI account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Salesforce and Twilio via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing crm events to communication actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Salesforce and Twilio?
Popular automations include: post Salesforce deal-won celebrations to Twilio, alert Twilio when Salesforce deals stall, notify Twilio channels on new Salesforce lead assignments, and share weekly Salesforce pipeline summaries in Twilio. Filters let you target specific deal stages or values.
Is the Salesforce and Twilio integration free?
Arahi AI includes 100 free actions per month on the Starter plan — enough for most small teams. If your Salesforce-to-Twilio workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Salesforce data secure when connected to Twilio?
Yes. Arahi uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Salesforce or Twilio passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your crm data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your Arahi dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Salesforce and Twilio?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Salesforce or Twilio. For example, create a workflow where Salesforce events update Twilio, and a separate one where Twilio changes sync back to Salesforce. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Salesforce and Twilio?
No coding is required. Arahi's visual workflow builder lets you configure triggers, actions, and field mapping with clicks. If you can use Salesforce and Twilio, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
