Overview - Corsair

Use Twilio through Corsair: one client, typed API calls, local DB sync, and incoming webhooks. What you get:

6 typed API operations
2 synced entities (calls, messages) for fast .search() / .list()
3 incoming webhook event types

Setup

Install

npm install corsair @corsair-dev/twilio

yarn add corsair @corsair-dev/twilio

pnpm install corsair @corsair-dev/twilio

bun add corsair @corsair-dev/twilio

Add the plugin

corsair.ts

import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { createCorsair } from 'corsair';
import { twilio } from '@corsair-dev/twilio';

export const corsair = createCorsair({
	plugins: [
		twilio(),
	],
	database: new Database('corsair.db'),
	kek: process.env.CORSAIR_KEK!,
	hub: {
		projectApiKey: process.env.CORSAIR_API_KEY!,
		signingSecret: process.env.CORSAIR_SIGNING_SECRET!,
	},
});

Multi-tenancy is the default — scope calls with corsair.withTenant(id). See Quick start for KEK + Hub keys, and Multi-tenancy for account isolation.

API Key (Recommended)

No setup required yet. When you make your first request as a tenant, Corsair prompts for the API key.

twilio()

Connect a tenant

Mint a connect link and send the tenant to it. Hub hosts the page and delivers the result to your app — see Connect / OAuth.

const { connectUrl } = await corsair.manage.connect.createLink({
	plugin: 'twilio',
	tenantId: 'acme',
});
// redirect the user's browser to connectUrl

Example API calls

List messages

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.twilio.api.messages.list({});

Send a message

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.twilio.api.messages.send({ To: '+15555550100', From: '+15555550101', Body: 'Hello from Corsair' });

See the full list on the API page.

Query synced data

Search synced messages without hitting Twilio.

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
const rows = await tenant.twilio.db.messages.search({
	data: {},
	limit: 50,
});

Synced entities: calls, messages. See Database for filters and operators.

Webhooks

Fires when an inbound SMS arrives.

twilio({
    webhookHooks: {
        message: {
            received: {
                after: async (ctx, result) => {
                    console.log('Twilio message:', result.data);
                }
            },
        },
    },
})

Mount your framework handler once (see Frameworks), then point the provider at that URL. Full event list: Webhooks. Concepts: Webhooks, Hooks.
