When the flow reaches this step, JOrchestrator executes Twilio MMS against your linked site or an external integration, using the field values you set on General and Design. Downstream steps can read the output payload fields defined for this node.
Twilio MMS is a action step in the Messaging › Mobile group. Action steps run in the middle or end of a flow. They perform work on your CMS, call external services, or transform data for the next step.
Typical reasons teams add Twilio MMS to a flow:
Common patterns on the canvas:
Media URLs must be http/https and reachable by Twilio's servers. Optional message body text.
Use upload-media or a public CDN URL — localhost URLs will not work.
The designer shows these tabs for this node:
| Tab | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Info | Plain-language description and output payload fields for downstream steps |
| General | Canvas label and read-only node ID |
| AI | Optional assistant to help draft settings from plain language |
| Design | Node-specific configuration fields |
These fields are managed by the designer or runtime — you do not type into them directly:

_payloadFields | Available Fields | payload-panel | No | — | — |

to | To | payload-text | Yes | — | +15551234567 |
from | From (optional) | payload-text | No | — | Uses default from Joomla Node Configuration → Twilio if empty |
body | Message (optional) | textarea | No | — | Caption text or {{node_id.field}} |
mediaUrls | Media URLs | textarea | Yes | — | https://example.com/image.jpg (one per line or comma-separated) Public https URLs Twilio can fetch. At least one is required for MMS. |
statusCallback | Status callback URL (optional) | payload-text | No | — | https://example.com/twilio/status |
Credentials, API keys, mailers, SMTP, and integration defaults are configured in the CMS plugin under Node Configuration, not per step on this node. Link the flow to a domain before testing CMS-backed fields.
After this step runs, later nodes can reference these fields using placeholders such as {{twilio_mms.success}}.
| Field key | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
success | boolean | Whether the operation completed successfully. |
sid | string | Twilio message SID. |
status | string | HTTP status code or operation status string. |
to | string | Recipient address or user. |
from | string | Sender address or number. |
