How to join Twilio Champions in 2026 (paused: what to do instead)
How to become a Twilio Champion in 2026. Applications are paused. Watch the official page for the September 2026 reopen, and see the live listing on this site.
Applications are paused
Twilio Champions is paused. As of 15 September 2026 the official page says applications are currently paused. Stay tuned for applications reopening in September 2026. There is no live apply form I can send you to.
What to do instead: read the listing on this site, watch https://www.twilio.com/en-us/champions, and keep teaching Twilio in public. Build content and community proof while you wait.
I run Ambassador Directory. I am a Cursor ambassador and a Raycast ambassador. I am not a Twilio Champion. The rule here is give and take: you share Twilio expertise, help other builders, and give product feedback, and you get events, channels, speaking support, and resources for that work. If the deal is a tracking link, it is the wrong program.
This page is a how-to for a paused program. Do not send an application through this directory. We list programs. We do not take applications for them.
What they ask
Official framing: developer ambassadors. Drive awareness across digital and in-person channels. Participate in focus groups and product feedback sessions. Build awareness with authenticity in the wider Twilio community.
Official copy also frames Champions as technical experts, end users, and developers who share Twilio expertise at hackathons and meetups. The program recognizes expert developers who share knowledge, support developer communities, and solve real-life challenges with Twilio.
To join, the official page says you must: be 18 or older; demonstrate Twilio product expertise and a passion for helping others; contribute through speaking events, publishing technical content, assisting with online forums, and more; be committed to being a brand ambassador and upholding Twilio values; be fluent in English.
The listing on this site asks for an active Twilio user, community content creation, and a passion for communications APIs. The listing describes developer ambassadors who drive awareness across digital and in-person channels and participate in focus groups and product feedback sessions with the Twilio team.
I will not invent a follower count, content quota, or acceptance rate.
What you get
The exchange is support for the work, not a commission.
The listing on this site tags Credits, Access, and Co-marketing. Official copy does not publish a credit amount. I will not invent one.
- Exclusive virtual and in-person developer events
- Dedicated communication channels in Twilio
- Speaking, collaboration, and networking opportunities
- Dedicated presentation, demo, and content resources
- Exclusive swag and more
How to prepare, and what to do now
Watch the official page. That is the source of truth for when applications reopen. Official hub: https://www.twilio.com/en-us/champions
Do not wait for the form to start the work. Use Twilio in public. Publish technical content. Speak. Help people in forums. That is the ask on the official page and on the listing.
When they reopen, apply on Twilio's official page, not through this directory. I will not invent an apply form, an email, or a date more specific than September 2026.
Do not send an application through Ambassador Directory. We list programs. We do not take applications for them.
Related API and developer-tool programs
If Twilio Champions is the wrong fit, these listings sit in a similar API or developer-tools lane. Postman Supernovas is also paused. Apply on that company's official page when the program is open, not through this directory.
If you want the perk buckets, start there. If you want a general apply path, start with how to get in. Postman Supernovas is the other how-to on this site for a paused program. AWS Community Builders is the waitlist how-to.
