Track Twilio costs per day

Twilio charges per message, minute and phone number. OpenProfit reads the daily total and puts it next to the revenue of the product that sends those messages.

What it reads

OpenProfit reads Twilio's daily usage records in the total price category. For each day it records the cost of all usage on the account and its subaccounts, in the currency Twilio bills you.

Twilio's other usage categories overlap, so adding them up counts some costs twice. The total price category avoids that and includes costs that sit in no other category.

Connect it

1. In the Twilio Console, open Account settings → API keys & auth tokens and create an API key. Pick Restricted as the key type.
2. Under Permissions, grant /twilio/billing/usage/read and nothing else.
3. In OpenProfit, open Connections → Twilio and paste your Account SID, the key's SID and its secret.
4. Press Test, then Connect.

Costs per product

Twilio reports one total per day. Pick the product it serves at the top of the connection's page and every day goes to it. If several products share the account, the total stays in the shared bucket.
