How it connects

Twilio has an official connector in Claude's directory. A Claude admin switches it on and each person signs in with their own Twilio login, so Claude only sees what they're allowed to see. Helm handles the setup, checks the permissions and trains your team on what to ask.

Looking after your Twilio data

Twilio holds phone numbers, message content and call recordings, and Claude's access through Twilio's connector is read only, so it can report on communications without sending anything.

Only the access you approve.
Everything stays in your own accounts.
