TwiML, or the Twilio Markup Language, is an XML based language which instructs Twilio on how to handle various events such as incoming and outgoing calls, SMS messages and MMS messages. When building a Twilio application you will use TwiML when communicating your desired actions to Twilio.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Response> <Say>Thanks for calling!</Say> </Response>
And here's some TwiML you might use to respond to an incoming SMS message:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <Response> <Message>We got your message, thank you!</Message> </Response>
すべてのTwiMLドキュメントはルートの<Response>要素と、その中に含まれるひとつ以上の動詞からなります。 動詞とは、電話をかけてきた人にあいさつする<Say>や、受信メッセージへの返信としてSMSを送信する<Message>といったような、Twilioにおこなってほしいアクションのことです。 TwiMLで実行できることがあまねく網羅されたリファレンスについては、TwiML APIリファレンスを参照してください。
TwiML is, at it's core, a fun language to write.
Based on XML, eXtensible Markup Language, (just like HTML) it's also very simple to learn and write. Twilio's secret sauce is working to make it a very powerful language.
How powerful? Think allow customer service agents to transfer a caller in a support conference call without dropping it in under ten lines of code powerful.
* See our tutorials which include everything from basic to advanced TwiML constructs *
TwiML is composed of a number of verbs and nouns which act as instructions for Twilio. Those verbs include:
Nouns generally are acted on by a verb or will modify the verb's behavior. For example, the Message verb will send a text message but the text inside the tags and Body
, and Media
are nouns which change exactly what Twilio will do. Depending on how you use the nouns, the Message might be a SMS, multiple SMSes, or an MMS.

TwiML is the primary language used to control actions on Twilio and is especially powerful when combined with our products such as Programmable SMS and Programmable Voice.
Your application will return TwiML in response to various events. Some of those events might be an incoming phone call or SMS, or perhaps a change in delivery status for a SMS your application sent.
Yes! We encourage you to look at TwiML Bins, Twilio's serverless (and codeless) solution to letting you write TwiML. It's the most frictionless way to start using Twilio: don't worry about spinning up a new VPS or exposing a route to your development machine. TwiML Bins allow you to quickly prototype your app - or even run it in production directly from our servers.
For those of you who are writing code, the Twilio helper libraries will automatically create valid TwiML for you. If you don't use one of our primary languages, don't sweat it! We've included curl commands and raw TwiML with most of our examples so you can call the API or return TwiML from your language of choice.
We know you're going to like TwiML as much as we do. Sign up for a Twilio account and try TwiML bins, follow one of our tutorials, or hop right into the SDKs.
構築した結果が楽しみです。
