### Twilio Account Setup

1. **Sign Up for Twilio**
- Go to [Twilio's website](https://www.twilio.com/try-twilio) and sign up for a new account if you haven't already.

2. **Get Twilio API Credentials**
- After signing up, navigate to the dashboard and note down your Account SID and Auth Token. You'll need these to authenticate your requests to Twilio's API.

3. **Purchase a Phone Number**
- Purchase a phone number from Twilio that you'll use to send SMS notifications to users. You can do this from the Twilio console.

4. **Install Twilio SDK**
- Install the Twilio Node.js package in your project:
```bash
npm install twilio
```

5. **Integrate Twilio into Your Backend**
- In your backend code, use the Twilio SDK to send SMS notifications.
- Initialize Twilio with your Account SID and Auth Token.
- Use the purchased phone number as the sender and your users' phone numbers as recipients.
- Craft a message containing the notification details, such as product expiry date, and send it using Twilio's API.

6. **Test SMS Notifications**
- Test the integration by triggering SMS notifications in your application. Ensure that users receive the notifications correctly.

7. **Handle Errors and Edge Cases**
- Implement error handling for cases such as failed SMS delivery or invalid phone numbers.
- Consider implementing retry mechanisms for failed SMS deliveries.

8. **Monitor Usage and Costs**
- Keep track of your Twilio API usage and associated costs to ensure they align with your budget and usage expectations.

9. **Document Integration Steps**
- Update your project documentation with detailed instructions on how to set up Twilio for SMS notifications. Include information on where to find Twilio credentials, how to purchase a phone number, and how to integrate Twilio into the project's backend.
10. **Final Testing and Deployment**
- Once everything is set up and tested, deploy your updated project with Twilio integration to your preferred hosting platform.
Remember to keep your Twilio credentials secure and never expose them in publicly accessible code repositories.
