# Twilio Alarms Integration
The [Twilio Alarms](https://www.twilio.com/docs/usage/monitor-alarms) integration forwards alarms such as SMS failures or Twilio API issues as technical alerts to on-call personnel. These alerts activate escalation policies and help ensure communications remain operational.
