Twilio
The Twilio Tool facilitates communication with Twilio API by providing features that allow you to send or fetch WhatsApp or SMS messages.
Please note that the Twilio Tool is designed as a supplementary tool for an existing chatbot and does not actively listen for new messages. For effective operation, the app requires explicit type of Whatsapp or SMS within your instructions.
