Programmable SMS Quickstart & Twilio Autopilot

sudo cp demo_credentials.json credentials.json

sudo cp .env.example .env

composer install

Then update the .env file based on google project and if you have crdentials.json file already then only you have to replace the file in this directory.

We will need our webhook.php file to be accessible through a public URL. To do this we will use ngrok. From your terminal run the command:

php -S localhost:3000

On a new terminal window, goto root file of ngrok and run the command:

./ngrok http 3000

From your Twilio account, head over to the Autopilot console and create a new assistant. I’ve named mine my-google-project.

Since we will be using WhatsApp as our Autopilot channel, we need to set up our WhatsApp sandbox. On the left, click channels and select WhatsApp.

Setup using: https://www.twilio.com/docs/autopilot/channels/whatsapp

Thanks, and let me know if you have any queries.
