Summary

You've built a chatbot or application flow with Twilio Studio and want to store relevant user data and access data you need to remit to your user in an Airtable base. To do this, you'll use Twilio Functions and Node.js to connect with the Airtable API. You'll gather your Airtable credentials, add them as environment variables in your Function Service, and install the Airtable npm package as a dependency. Then, you'll write functions that look up data from your Airtable base and insert new data into it. Finally, you can test your chatbot by sending text messages to the Twilio phone number configured with your Studio flow.
