Now you should be able to pick a Twilio application that the browser client will be using in the "Contacts" section of the admin menu.

  • Click "Contacts" under "General" group in the left menu bar.
  • Unfold "Twilio Customer Service Calls" section.

NOTE: if you can't find an Application or a Caller id to use, make sure that you have them created in your Twilio account's dashboard.
