Twilio的脚本引擎类似于Tropo

Question

Tropo has a scripting engine using which we can write code in scripting language for voice and sms applications. eg the python code to answer a call looks like,

answer()
say("thanks for calling")
transfer("tel:+1xxxxxxxxxx")
hangup()

Is there something similar available for Twilio. I see that they have Python wrapper over their SDK using which one can do something similar. But I need to find out if there is something similar that Twilio has.

Thanks, gg

Answer 1

If you need to do anything dynamic (respond in different ways based on who is calling), you'll need to provide Twilio with a URL, and then respond with TwiML at that URL.

You can create TwiML with Python with the helper library: Creating TwiML with twilio-python

If you are responding to every call in the same way (eg a static reply), Twilio has Twimlets you can use to create small snippets of functionality, like say a message and then dial a new number. You can host Twimlets with Twilio, so you don't need your own server.
