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.

The first time you use Autopilot CLI, you must call the $ ta init or $ ta init --twilio-setup command to initialize the tool with your Twilio account.

To update an existing autopilot-cli credentail use following command: $ ta init --credentials <name>.

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.
