Here is where to find each value in your Twilio account.
Step 1 — Purchase a phone number in Twilio
Before importing, you need an active phone number in your Twilio account. In the Twilio console, go to Develop → Phone Numbers → Buy a Number.
On the search page, filter by country, and optionally enter specific digits or an area code to narrow results. Click Search to see available numbers.
Before clicking Buy, make sure the number shows the Voice (📞) capability icon — this confirms the number can handle calls. Once you find the right number, click Buy to purchase it.
If you also want your assistant to send or receive SMS, make sure the number also shows the SMS (💬) capability icon. If you only need voice calls, SMS is not required.
Once purchased, you will be taken to your active numbers list. Copy the phone number shown (highlighted in the screenshot) and paste it into the Phone number field in the PulsyAI import modal. Then click Configure to access the number’s settings.
Inside the number’s configuration page, click Properties. Your Phone number SID is displayed there — copy it and paste it into the corresponding field in PulsyAI.
Step 2 — Get your Account SID and Auth Token
Navigate to the Account Dashboard in your Twilio console. Your Account SID and Auth Token are both displayed there. Click the copy icon (□) next to each value to copy them, then paste them into the corresponding fields in PulsyAI.
Step 3 — Save in PulsyAI
Once all four fields are filled in, click Save to complete the import.
Step 4 — Select the number and assign it to your assistant
Your imported number now appears in the dropdown. Select it to attach it to your AI agent — and that’s it, the number is live.
