I've recently changed /voice url on my twilio's number.
I've changed from a https://domain.localtunnel.me to to http://newdomainname.com.
But, when I'm trying to call someone, twilio still uses the old https url, so I've got many 11200- HTTP retrieval failure errors in my debugger.
Why twilio doesn't use the new url ? My client side doesn't send twilio any kind of URL, so I'm expecting it to use the one I've set on my number page.
Is there a setting I've missed ?
Thanks,

After some more investigation it turned out that the test calls to the number were being made with Twilio Client. When you use Twilio Client you need to provide a TwiML Application which has a URL for what to do when making outbound Twilio calls. In this case, the outbound URL in the TwiML application needed to be updated from the localtunnel version to the new URL too.

I have Twilio integrated with GoHighlevel. I am trying to get inbound SMS responses to appear in the GHL contact. Outbound messages are functioning and logging correctly, but not inbound. Can anyone assist?

I've not used GoHighLevel, so this is a bit of a stab in the dark.
Incoming messages to a Twilio number trigger a webhook (an HTTP request) to an application to notify the application. If the webhooks aren't set up correctly, then those messages won't make it to the other application (though they are all stored within Twilio).
I would recommend you log in to your Twilio account and check the settings for your numbers. You want to ensure that your numbers have a GoHighLevel URL setup for incoming messages.
In one of the GoHighLevel support topic videos for Twilio I spotted what the webhook URL should probably look like.
https://api.gohighlevel.com/twilio/incoming_message
Check your numbers, make sure they have something like that. And if it is still not working then I would contact GoHighLevel support to find out what the correct settings should be.
We have a requirement to configure callback URL with a custom parameter.
It's possible to configure the callback http url in Twilio console.
But we have to configure the callback url when we send sms so that when the user replies, twilio will make a call to the specified url mentioned.
Is there any way to configure the callback url programmatically?
Your timely help is much appreciated.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
You can't configure the SMS URL to be different based on different users responding to a Twilio number.
You can, however, direct this within your own system. When Twilio makes the webhook to your application it sends through a bunch of parameters including From, the number that sent you the message.
These parameters are sent as URL encoded parameters in the body of the POST request.
In your application you should be able to use that From parameter to look up your user and then deal with the incoming message for that user.
Let me know if that helps at all.
I connected Twilio connector to my registered Bot.
Whenever I send a sms to my Twilio number, I can see in the logs that Twilio service gets 404 when trying to post a message to
https://sms.botframework.com/api/sms
The bot itself works well. I can test it with the webchat iframe or through the test console. But it seems that the Twilio integration to the bot framework is broken
Twilio developer evangelist here. I've just been through the process and was able to get my messages sent to & from my bot.
The fact that your unable to do that suggests you missed a step in the configuration, so I will try and describe what I did here to see if it helps you out.
Created a TwiML application here and set its messaging url to https://sms.botframework.com/api/sms
Purchased a phone number and changed the messaging section to use my TwiML app.
Added my twilio credentials and twilio phone number to the SMS config section as follows:
One thing I noticed is that when Twilio makes a request to this URL to send an SMS, the url returns a 502.
But according to a Microsoft employee this is "harmless".
Let me know if this helps you at all, or if you still need any help.
We have a twilio number.
When ever any one call on that twilio number then there is an automated voice of twilio play. Can we customize this to a new message?
Thanks,

You can customise Twilio calls as much as you want! I recommend you take a look through this QuickStart for handling incoming phone calls with Twilio which should get you up and running.
To quickly describe it though, you have a Twilio number and that number has a Voice Request URL configured in the number's settings. When you make a call to that Twilio number, Twilio makes an HTTP request to the URL. That URL needs to return TwiML (a set of instructions to Twilio in XML) which tells Twilio what to do with the call.
If you update the URL to something you control and then return different TwiML, then you can change the message and do a whole lot of other stuff with your Twilio number.
Looking over the Twilio Client setup am I correct in thinking that for each person I want to route a call to that I need to have a TwiML app set up for that person.
That way they each have a unique name to register with to accept inbound calls. Then I am also limited to only haveing 1,000 apps

You should only need to have a single TwiML App, but you can dynamically generate the TwiML returned from that apps Voice Request URL with whatever client name you are trying to reach.
Hope that helps.
