    • Agent Name: Name the agent uses when addressing callers

Receiving SMS with a bring-your-own Twilio number

If your Voice Agent uses a number from your own Twilio account (“Bring Your Own Twilio”), the following configuration is required for the agent to receive inbound SMS messages.

1. Configure the Twilio SMS webhook

In your Twilio console, set the SMS webhook for your number to:
https://api.conduit.ai/twilio/messaging
This routes inbound SMS to your Conduit Voice Agent.

2. Complete A2P 10DLC registration

A2P (Application-to-Person) registration is required in Twilio to prevent carriers from filtering outbound messages. Without it, SMS messages sent from your number may be blocked or silently dropped. Register your number for A2P 10DLC in the Twilio console under Messaging > Regulatory Compliance.

3. Enable SMS reception in Twilio account settings

SMS reception must be explicitly enabled within your Twilio account settings. Verify that SMS is enabled for the phone number being used before testing.
All three steps above are required. Missing any one of them — the webhook URL, A2P registration, or SMS reception setting — will prevent the agent from reliably sending or receiving SMS.

Setting a Schedule for Voice AI

When team members are unavailable, set up VoiceAI to answer calls during off-hours. To schedule VoiceAI:
  1. Navigate to Settings > Phone > Configure next to Voice AI number > Configure
  2. Enable incoming calls to Route to VoiceAI
    • Select the number that should route to this VoiceAI
  3. Set a schedule or enable VoiceAI to run 24/7
