  • If the code has not been sent and the rep has a Mobile and SMS Carrier specified in their Profile record, the code will be sent to the <mobile number>@<SMS carrier email> via SMS.
  • If the code has not been sent and the rep has a specified Alt Email Address that ends with the email from any of the defined SMS carriers, the code will be sent to that address via SMS.
  • If SMS is not enabled, the code is sent to the email address in the rep’s Profile record.

Twilio Integration

Select or create the Twilio integration to be used for sending authentication codes to support representatives via SMS.

Show Send Code Via Email Link

Select Yes to include a Send Code Via Email link on the Validate Authentication Code dialog when the code is sent via SMS. This allows the code to be sent to an email address if the support representative doesn't have access to the phone that the code was sent to.
