What SMS does
The tool, in plain language.
SMS sends short, time-sensitive stakeholder updates through Twilio, reaching people on a channel they already check.
Why connect it to Specky?
Keep the useful context attached.
Connect SMS when an approved product update needs to reach a specific stakeholder quickly, without turning text messages into an unstructured feedback source.
- Urgent stakeholder updates
- Mobile-first notifications
- Approved delivery handoffs
The job this connection does
Why would a product team connect SMS?
Move an approved product update from Specky into SMS without losing the review context.
SMS is a delivery channel
SMS is how updates leave Specky. Nothing is read back into your graph; use it when you want an approved update in front of people where they already pay attention.
Know what this connection is for.
A useful integration is clear about its boundary: what Specky can receive, what it returns to your product workflow, and what it deliberately does not do.
You provide
- A stakeholder update you choose to send from Specky
Specky gives back
- A delivered update through SMS
- A record of the context and decision behind the message
A real example
You approve a stakeholder brief in Specky and deliver it through SMS; SMS does not feed data back into the Product Graph.
Questions you can ask in plain English
These are the kinds of questions this connection helps answer. Specky keeps the source attached so the answer can be checked, not just trusted.

Before you connect it
How does Specky use my SMS data?
Nothing is read from SMS — it's outbound only. Specky uses it to deliver updates you choose to send.
What do I need before I connect SMS?
You will need Auth Token, Account SID, From Number from your own SMS account. The setup guide walks you through each one.
How long will this take?
Usually a few minutes. You create a credential in SMS, paste it into Specky, and you are connected. Step-by-step instructions are in the setup guide.
Can I disconnect SMS later?
Yes — go to Settings → Integrations whenever you want. Disconnecting removes the connection and the data it brought in.
Can I use SMS on my plan?
Every plan can connect integrations. Your plan sets how many can be active at once, and a few providers are limited to Scale. Settings → Usage shows where you stand.
Bring SMS into your product graph
Connect it in a few minutes, then let Specky do the reading.
