Communication Integrations

Communication Integrations connect 1stLine by Burava to the provider that actually sends SMS messages and voice calls.

Without a Communication Integration, a Communication Rule can still exist, but it cannot send its routines through your own provider.

What Communication Integrations do

A Communication Integration gives 1stLine a delivery path for:

  • SMS messages
  • voice calls
  • call actions during voice calls

In the UI, each integration has a Plugin ID. Today, the available built-in options are Twilio and Telnyx.

Default integration vs your own integration

Depending on your plan, your organization may be able to use the system default communication integration.

If your plan does not include it, you can still:

  • verify your phone number
  • create Communication Rules
  • set up your own Communication Integration

That is the normal Bring-Your-Own setup for organizations that want their own provider account.

Supported providers

The current Communication Integration options in 1stLine are:

  • Twilio
  • Telnyx

You choose the provider in Plugin ID when you add the integration.

What you need before adding one

Before you open Communication Integrations, prepare the provider values 1stLine asks for.

For Twilio:

  • Account SID
  • Auth Token
  • From Number

For Telnyx:

  • API Key
  • From Number
  • Connection ID
  • Messaging Profile ID
  • Webhook Public Signing Key

For Telnyx, From Number is expected in dashed international format, for example +1-872-272-3333.

How integrations are used in Communication Rules

When you add or edit a Communication Routine, you choose its Integration.

That means one Communication Rule can send:

  • every routine through the same integration
  • different routines through different integrations

This is useful when one provider should handle calls and another should handle SMS, or when you want a backup path.

Planning your setup

Keep the first setup simple:

  1. add one working Communication Integration
  2. create one Communication Rule
  3. attach it to one Line Member
  4. send a real test alert

After that, add more specialized rules only when the response flow actually needs them.
