    Add the webhook you created in the Experience Designer.
    In this example, it is https://sandbox15.orbita.cloud:8443/oeapi/twilio/message

Best Practices

  1. Do not use special characters in the messages.

  2. If the message is large (i.e; greater than 140 characters), split the message into segments and use multiple Twilio nodes to send the segments with a delay.

  3. The maximum number of characters allowed in one segment is 140. If you use multiple segments, then you should restrict the maximum number of characters used in each segment to 134 as 6 characters will be utilized to link the segments together.
