Twilio Modify

Twilio Modify Assistant

API object

String/Expression

Required. Select the API that you want to access in Twilio instance. This property provides a set of business objects defined by Twilio.

Programmable SMS

Autopilot

Entity

String/Expression/Suggestion

Required. Select an entity that belongs to the corresponding API object chosen above.
You can choose an entity from the suggestion list or provide a static value.  

Messages

Assistant

Entity SID

String/Expression

Required. Specify a unique ID for the entity that determines one specific resource under the given entity type.

Entity SID is required to perform the modification operation in most cases. However, an exception to this arises for entity types that can only be operated as a group rather than an instance, such as Actions of a Task under the Autopilot object. To re-program the actions that correspond to a task invoked during the dialogue, you must not provide Entity SID in this field.

None

Required SID

Use this field set to specify the parent entity String Identifiers (SIDs) necessary for accessing the requested resources, if any.
Twilio's API designs follow a hierarchical pattern to indicate relationships among entities. For example, you can build an autopilot assistant to answer incoming calls with a task model. In this case, the Task entity is considered as a property of Assistant entity. Each assistant has a unique SID, and one assistant can have multiple tasks associated with it. To retrieve the record for one of the tasks, also provide the task's parent assistant SID in the Required SIDs table.

 to add a new row in this table and define the values accordingly.
This field set comprises the following fields:

  • SID name

  • SID value

SID name

String/Suggestion

Specify the name(s) of the parent SID(s) of the input Entity. 
The available entities are dynamically populated in the suggestion list according to the specified Entity.  

None

AssistantSid

SID value

String

Specify the SID value for the corresponding SID name chosen above.

  • Execute only. Performs full execution of the Snap during Pipeline execution without generating preview data.

  • Disabled. Disables the Snap and all Snaps downstream from it.
