About this Product
Standard ERPNext can email a customer when a Sales Order is submitted, but it has no first-class way to text them, send a one-time passcode, or place and log a phone call. Teams end up copy-pasting numbers into the Twilio console, running SMS from a disconnected script, and logging calls by hand in a comment field — so delivery updates arrive late, OTP flows live outside the ERP, and call history never lands on the customer's record. ERPNext's native Notification DocType stops at email and system alerts; there is no built-in SMS provider abstraction wired to Twilio, no click-to-call, and no inbound-call capture.
ECOSIRE builds a proper Frappe app (installed with bench get-app / bench install-app) that treats Twilio as a first-class channel inside ERPNext. We add a Twilio Settings single DocType to hold your Account SID, Auth Token (stored as a Password field, never plaintext), messaging service SID and caller ID; an SMS Log and Call Log DocType to persist every outbound and inbound event with delivery status; and configurable SMS Template records with Jinja rendering against the source document. Outbound SMS fires from hooks.py doc_events (for example on_submit of Sales Order, Delivery Note or Payment Entry) or from Notification rules, so a text goes out the moment the document changes state. OTP/2FA generation and verification run through whitelisted server methods with rate limiting and short TTL, callable from both server scripts and client scripts.
On the voice side we wire Twilio Programmable Voice so users get a click-to-call button on Contact, Lead and Customer forms — a whitelisted method places the call via the Twilio REST API and dials the agent first, then the customer. Inbound calls hit a Twilio webhook we expose as a whitelisted endpoint; we match the caller ID against existing Contacts/Leads, create or update a Call Log, and (where you use ERPNext/Frappe CRM) link it to the relevant record and open a follow-up task. Delivery-status and call-status callbacks from Twilio update each log row asynchronously via the background job queue, and a scheduler event reconciles any events the webhook missed. If you run WhatsApp on the Twilio channel, we route templated WhatsApp messages through the same sending pipeline and settings.
Everything respects ERPNext's permission model: sending, viewing logs and managing Twilio Settings are gated behind dedicated roles and role profiles, so agents can click-to-call without seeing your credentials. All events are queryable through the standard Frappe REST API and report views, and the app is built and tested against ERPNext/Frappe v15 and v16.
Because this is build-to-order, nothing ships as an instant download. After a short scoping call we confirm exactly which document events trigger SMS, your OTP and call-routing rules, and your Twilio account details, then build against a staging copy of your ERPNext. Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. You get the installable source for your version, UAT on staging, a go-live with rollback plan, and a support window afterward.

- Post-go-live support window for bug fixes and configuration adjustments
- Git repository handover with full commit history and README for your team
- Twilio account configuration guidance (messaging service, caller ID, webhook URLs) documented for handover
Who this is for
Operations & Fulfilment Manager
Wants customers texted automatically when orders are confirmed, dispatched or delivered — driven by ERPNext document events, not manual copy-paste into the Twilio console.
Sales / CRM Team Lead
Needs click-to-call from Lead and Customer records with every inbound and outbound call automatically logged against the right CRM record and a follow-up task created.
IT / ERPNext Administrator
Responsible for a clean, upgrade-safe install: a separate Frappe app, credentials stored securely, role-gated access, and behavior tested against v15/v16 before it touches production.
Compliance / Security Owner
Requires OTP/2FA for sensitive actions with rate limiting and audit trails, plus signature-validated inbound webhooks so only genuine Twilio callbacks are accepted.
How Twilio SMS & Voice Integration for ERPNext Compares
| Criterion | ECOSIRE | Custom Build | Competitor | ERPNext Native |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SMS on document events | Fires from hooks.py doc_events on the exact DocTypes and states you choose | Possible but you build the event wiring and Twilio abstraction yourself | Often generic send-only, rarely mapped to your specific document workflow | No SMS provider — email and system alerts only |
| OTP / 2FA sending | Whitelisted methods with rate limiting, short TTL and single-use enforcement | Must design token store, TTL and rate limiting from scratch | Sometimes bundled, sometimes not, with variable security controls | No SMS-based OTP flow for business actions |
| Click-to-call & inbound logging | Buttons on Contact/Lead/Customer plus signature-validated inbound webhook to Call Log | Full Twilio Voice + webhook build on your own time | Voice often unsupported or an add-on; inbound rarely captured | No native voice calling or call logging |
| CRM linkage | Activity linked to matched Lead/Customer with optional auto follow-up task | You write the caller-ID matching and linking logic | Linkage inconsistent; often just a raw log table | Manual comments only |
| Credential security & permissions | Password-field storage, dedicated roles/role profiles, agents never see secrets | Depends entirely on your implementation discipline | Varies; some store keys in plain fields or site config | Not applicable — no Twilio integration |
| Reliability (status callbacks) | Async job queue processing plus a scheduler reconciliation for missed events | You build queueing, retries and reconciliation yourself | Often fire-and-forget with no delivery reconciliation | Not applicable |
| Version support | Built and tested for ERPNext/Frappe v15 and v16 | Whatever you target and maintain | May lag current releases or break on upgrade | Core only |
| Ownership & support | Full git repo handover, docs, training and a support window | You own it and all its maintenance | Vendor-locked; support and roadmap out of your control | Community/self-support |
Frequently Asked Questions about Twilio SMS & Voice Integration
Is this a ready-to-download app from the Frappe marketplace?
No. This is a build-to-order engagement. ECOSIRE builds the Frappe app against your ERPNext version and your specific trigger events, then installs and supports it. There is no instant download — the code is tailored to your instance and Twilio account.
How long does delivery take?
Typical delivery is one working week from confirmed scope. After the scoping call we lock down which document events trigger SMS, your OTP and call-routing rules, and your Twilio details, then build and test on a staging copy before go-live. Timelines depend on how many trigger events and CRM linkages you need.
What do I need from Twilio before you start?
A Twilio account with an Account SID, Auth Token, at least one SMS-capable number (or messaging service) and a voice-capable caller ID. For WhatsApp you need an approved Twilio WhatsApp sender. We guide you through provisioning and configure the webhooks and messaging service during the build.
Which ERPNext versions are supported?
We build and test against ERPNext/Frappe v15 and v16. If you run an older version we will discuss it on the scoping call, but the app is written and validated for the current supported releases.
How are updates and support handled after go-live?
Every engagement includes a post-go-live support window for bug fixes and configuration tweaks. Beyond that we offer ongoing support and can adapt the app when you upgrade ERPNext, add new trigger events, or extend it to more DocTypes. You also receive the full git repository so your own team can maintain it.
Are my Twilio credentials safe?
Yes. The Auth Token is stored in a Frappe Password field (encrypted at rest), never hardcoded. Access to Twilio Settings is restricted to a dedicated admin role, and agents can click-to-call or send SMS without ever seeing the credentials. Inbound webhooks are validated against Twilio's request signature.
Can it log inbound calls and tie them to our CRM records?
Yes. Inbound calls hit a signature-validated webhook, we match the caller ID against existing Contacts and Leads, create or update a Call Log, link it to the relevant CRM record, and can auto-create a follow-up task. Outbound click-to-call activity is logged the same way.
