Twilio offers several tools for investigating the interaction between Twilio and your application. If a Call fails to go through, is delayed, or otherwise behaves unexpectedly, these tools should be your first stops for debugging.



How to navigate to the Call Logs and how to use them?


You can view the error logs for your Twilio account by going to the Twilio Console. You can use this log to get an idea of which Twilio resources may be affected and who was responsible for them.



1. Log on to Twilio https://console.twilio.com/



2. Go to the top right -> Click Account -> Click Subaccounts
