# Pull Request Template
## Description
This PR addresses an issue where users were unable to view images sent
via WhatsApp on Chatwoot due to incorrect Twilio authentication
configuration.
https://app.chatwoot.com/app/accounts/1/conversations/50824
The problem stemmed from how authentication was being handled for Twilio
API requests. The user had configured their inbox using api_key_sid, but
the backend logic used only auth_token, leading to failed
authentication. Further investigation showed that some customers might
input api_secret into the auth_token field unintentionally.
## Type of change
- [x] Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
- [ ] New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
- [ ] Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing
functionality not to work as expected)
- [ ] This change requires a documentation update
## How Has This Been Tested?
- Tested on console with Client(api_key_sid, auth_token, account_sid)
and validated successful authentication for the customer (Twilio channel
ID: 2702).
- Simulated toggling the “Use API Key Authentication” checkbox to ensure
backend behavior matches UI intent
- Verified image rendering by testing with the same image URL that was
previously failing for the user.
