FAQ

Common questions

Do I need more than one Twilio connection?

No. One Twilio authorization powers both the scheduled syncs that land data in your destination and the entity actions your agents call at runtime.

Do Twilio entity actions need a sync to run first?

No. Entity actions read and write through the Twilio API as they are called, so they work immediately. Context store search is the exception: it queries data Airbyte has already synced, which is what lets it filter and sort without spending API rate limits.

Difference between ETL and ELT?

ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data.

ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
