We built Gravity CX because we received many requests from customers seeking a quicker, easier, and more cost-effective way to build and launch their Twilio Flex contact centers.

Gravity CX allows you to quickly deploy Twilio Flex contact centers with out-of-the-box functionality not offered by Twilio Flex.

Setup Gravity CX Demo Account Instructions

Can I use my own Twilio account?

Yes! We are not resellers, so you have full control over your Twilio account.  Therefore, you can still integrate with your other Twilio accounts and services.

How quickly can I get started with Gravity CX?

We require 1-2 weeks of lead time after receiving your signed order form.

How long does it take to setup and deploy Gravity CX?

Gravity CX can be deployed in less than two weeks with the out-of-the-box functionality included in the application.

The time for deployment may vary based on required customizations and/or Interactive Voice Response (IVR) complexity.

Yes! Additional features and functionality can be added to your Twilio Flex contact center after it has been deployed.

We will work with your team to scope out the new features as well as build and integrate them into Twilio Flex for you.

Can Gravity CX work with my existing Twilio services and applications?

Yes! We will be able to integrate your existing Twilio services and applications into Gravity CX.

For example, if you use Twilio to send automated SMS messages to your customers, all responses can be configured to be handled within Twilio Flex.

Does the Gravity CX team handle number porting?

Third-Party Integrations & Customizations

Is Gravity CX customizable?

What if I require features or functionality that aren't included in Gravity CX?

We can build it! One of the benefits of using Twilio Flex and Gravity CX is there isn’t any contact center feature that you can’t have.

We will work with you to scope the features you require and build them into the application.

Do I require developers to make changes to my Gravity CX account?

However, if there is new functionality that needs to be built, either our team can build it for you or we can work with your development team to integrate it into the system.

Can I implement Twilio Flex without Gravity CX?

Yes, you certainly can build Twilio Flex yourself or hire us to help you in building a Twilio Flex contact center that meets your unique needs.  Twilio Flex is a great framework for building the perfect cloud-based contact center of your dreams.

However, the Twilio Flex framework is not set up to accommodate the functionality and third-party integrations that Gravity CX offers out-of-the-box. Without Gravity CX, you need to account for increased costs and time for building these features into Twilio Flex.
