SMS alerting

Twilio

A critical alert that only lives in a dashboard is an alert nobody sees until Monday. Nexus can text your on-call number directly through Twilio the moment something crosses your severity threshold.

How it works

  • Sends SMS via the Twilio Messages API for alerts that meet a configurable minimum severity, alongside Slack/Teams/Discord webhook posts on the same alert
  • Supports multiple recipient numbers per tenant, with each send authenticated using the account SID and auth token configured in ChatOps settings
  • A one-off "send test message" action lets an admin confirm Twilio delivery is actually wired up before relying on it for a real page
  • Best-effort by design — a Twilio failure never blocks alert creation or delivery to the other configured channels

Live — a real Twilio Messages API call once SID, auth token, from, and to numbers are configured; sends are best-effort and never block alert creation.
