The Flex Project Template is a starting point for Flex solutions of any size. It provides a methodology for managing all the key assets of a Twilio Flex solution:
- It can be used for large projects or simple standalone features
- Many of the most common features requested by Flex customers are already packaged in the template
- Each feature is self-contained and easily removed if desired
- Features can be turned on and off using an administration panel
- You can deploy this solution and use it to build in just a few minutes by providing your account SID, API key, and API secret.
The Twilio platform is a robust suite of tools that can be orchestrated together to create incredible custom solutions. The biggest challenge is how to automatically configure and orchestrate these different tools together from an single source of truth. This is the problem the template aims to resolve.
The template provides a means to manage all of the assets which make up a Flex solution. This aggregates the work Twilio Professional Services have done to show how different features can be robustly implemented on the Flex platform. It can take new Flex developers from 0 to 100 by putting them right in the position of developing feature enhancements instead of worrying about how to manage assets and dependencies on the platform.
Furthermore, with the rich library of examples and conventions, developers can quickly see how to approach different problems on the platform by seeing working code that they can easily reverse engineer.
Installing the template in your Twilio account is fast and easy. Follow this step-by-step guide to install the template in under 10 minutes.
