Build a Trick or Treat Chatbot with Twilio Studio and Functions, and Node.js
This tutorial guides users in building a Trick or Treat Chatbot using Twilio Studio and Functions, along with Node.js. The chatbot allows users to find trick-or-treat locations based on their zip code, add their location to the list of places giving out candy, or exit the bot. The chatbot architecture consists of Twilio Studio for the chat flow and Twilio Functions to process user input. The tutorial covers creating a database using Airtable and deploying the chatbot's function service. Users can customize the chatbot by adding new widgets, configuring transitions, and connecting their phone number to the chatbot. Once complete, users can test the chatbot and continue interacting with it as long as they like.
