Reuses your Twilio account
Same SID + Auth Token you're already using for SMS. No second vendor to sign up with.
Messaging & SMS
Twilio WhatsApp in Core Forms
Send WhatsApp messages via Twilio's whatsapp: channel using your existing Twilio credentials.
Bundled with Core Forms — the WordPress forms plugin with every premium feature in the box. No add-on tax.
If you're already on Twilio for SMS, you can ship WhatsApp from the same account in minutes. The Twilio WhatsApp action reuses your Account SID + Auth Token, posts to Twilio's whatsapp: channel, and supports approved Content Template SIDs for cold outreach.
No separate WhatsApp Business setup — Twilio handles the Meta-side provisioning and you get a unified billing line for SMS + WhatsApp.
