IP Geolocation API + Twilio Integration

Why connect them

The IP Geolocation API in Twilio.

Twilio enables programmable communications. Integrating APIs with Twilio enables intelligent SMS workflows, validated calling, and data-rich messaging. Build smart communication systems that respond with context.

What you can build

Workflows worth wiring.

Validate phone numbers before sending SMS campaigns

Send personalized messages with data from external APIs

Create intelligent auto-responses based on message content analysis

Route calls based on caller data from lookup APIs

Templates

Ready-made ideas.

New login event Fetch IP lookup → if country is unexpected, send SMS via Twilio with ip, country, and city

Suspicious IP SMS Alert

Send an SMS alert via Twilio when logins come from unexpected countries based on IP geolocation.

Incoming SMS with IP address Fetch IP lookup → reply via Twilio SMS with countryName, city, and timezone

IP Location SMS Lookup

Build an SMS-based IP lookup service that replies with country, city, and timezone via Twilio.

Setup

Connect it in a few steps.

Set up with Zapier

1
Set the trigger. Create a Zap with Twilio as the trigger app and "New SMS received" as the event. Connect your account.
2
Add the API action. Add APIVerve as the action, select the IP Geolocation API, and map your trigger data to the request.
3
Send it back. Add a second Twilio action for "Send SMS" and map the returned fields (like ip) into it.
4
Test & turn on. Test the Zap with real data to confirm the mapping, then turn it on.

Set up with Make

1
Add the trigger. Create a scenario and add a Twilio module set to "New SMS received". Authenticate your account.
2
Call the API. Add an HTTP module pointing at api.apiverve.com/v1/iplookup with your x-api-key header. Pass the trigger's data as the input.
3
Parse & map. Add a JSON module to read the response, then a Twilio module for "Send SMS". Map fields like data.ip into place.
4
Activate. Run once to confirm the mapping, then switch the scenario on and set its schedule.

Set up with n8n

1
Add the trigger node. Start a workflow with a Twilio trigger node for "New SMS received" and connect your credentials.
2
Add an HTTP Request node. Point it at api.apiverve.com/v1/iplookup using Header Auth (x-api-key). Feed in the trigger data.
3
Map with expressions. Add a Twilio node for "Send SMS" and reference the response with expressions such as {{ $json.data.ip }}.
4
Execute & activate. Execute manually to verify, then activate the workflow for production.
