How do I make my Twilio credentials available to my functions? – Twilio Support

Objective

This article shows you how to have Twilio add your account credentials to a Functions service as environment variables, so your function code can call the Twilio API without you storing the credentials yourself.

Product

Twilio Functions and Assets

Environment

Twilio Console

Procedure

In the Twilio Console, select Builder tools in the left sidebar.
Select Functions & Assets, then Services.
Select the name of the service you want to configure.
Select the Environment variables tab.
Select the checkbox labelled Add my Twilio credentials (ACCOUNT_SID and AUTH_TOKEN) as environment variables.
The setting is saved for the service as soon as you change it.

Additional Information

With the setting on, your function code reads the credentials from the context object as context.ACCOUNT_SID and context.AUTH_TOKEN.
Clear the checkbox to stop supplying the credentials to the service. Any function that relies on them will no longer be able to read them.
For any other secret your functions need, add it yourself as an environment variable.
