Twilio Actions

Actions are the operations (or API operations) that you can perform on Twilio by a simple drag and drop and data mapping of elements and values from input trigger, derived values using formulas or a desired constant that you may wish to map.

The action that you see below automates what you can do manually on Twilio.
