Twilio (SMS):

from twilio.rest import Client
client = Client(TWILIO_SID, TWILIO_TOKEN)
client.messages.create(body=message, from_="+1XXXXXXXXXX", to=customer_phone)

SendGrid (Email):

import sendgrid
sg = sendgrid.SendGridAPIClient(api_key=SENDGRID_KEY)
# ... send email

Both have free tiers sufficient for demo/MVP use.
