Creates an authenticated connection between UiPath and your Twilio services. This connection enables a Robot to call the Twilio APIs to read and write resources on your behalf.

Before you can start using the Twilio activities, you must create an API key for use in authenticating to Twilio services. [API Keys](https://www.twilio.com/docs/usage/api/keys) are credentials you can create and revoke in the Twilio Console.

After creating your API Key, you enter the API Key SID and Secret in the **Twilio Scope** activity. When you run your automation project, the keys are used to sign the API requests being made by each of the activities.

## How it works

2. Add the **Twilio Scope** activity to your project.
