Impact of Twilio Number Deletion
Understanding the consequences of deleting a Twilio number is just as important as the deletion process itself. This action has several immediate and long-term effects on your GoHighLevel account and communication capabilities. Be prepared for these changes to ensure a smooth transition.
⚠️ Any active workflows, campaigns, or other automations that rely on the deleted Twilio number will cease to function correctly. This can lead to missed messages, failed calls, and disrupted customer communication. Update all affected automations immediately.
✅ Deleting a Twilio number permanently removes all associated SMS conversations, call logs, and voicemail recordings from your GoHighLevel account. This data is not recoverable once the number is deleted.
