Configuration
To use the Twilio Autopilot CLI, you first need to configure your Twilio Account SID and Auth Token. Optionally, multiple accounts can be configured using the --credentials
option to associate an Account SID and Auth Token with a profile name.
To configure the CLI with your Twilio credentials run the following command: $ ta init
. Credentials will be saved in a local JSON file in ~/.twilio/config.json
.
The first set of credentials you provide will become your 'default' profile. You can add additional profiles or update an existing profile by running the following command: $ ta init --credentials test-profile
(where 'test-profile' the the profile name you'd like to add/update).
Schema Files
A schema file is a JSON document that's used to define an Autopilot assistant. They tell the CLI what to create or update. When exporting an Assistant will one be saved. When creating an Assistant you can choose from one of the following templates to get started quickly.
