This blog post is the first of a three-parts series where we explore how Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) processes and tools can be used to deploy and maintain your Twilio solution.
In this part, we are going to introduce the fundamentals of the IaC process applied to Twilio products. At the end of this article, you will deploy and maintain your Twilio resources using a tool purposely built for this exercise.

Intro
In this article we will see how to automate testing of your Flex plugin. Manual frontend testing is very tedious, error prone and an outdated approach. It can seriously impact your development process. In the spirit of good modern software development practice, the more you automate your frontend testing, the better. This article will cover both snapshot testing (to check your component renders correctly) and end-to-end browser testing (to check that your component responds correctly to user interactions).
This article aims to be an introduction to this very complex topic and provide you the tools to get started.
Requirements
To follow along with this blogpost you need the following:
Quest'articolo è la continuazione del precedente interessantissimo articolo, in cui Dominik descrive come costruire un sistema per ordinare caffè usando Autopilot. Al momento, Twilio Autopilot supporta solo la lingua inglese, esploreremo quindi come implementare il sistema per ricevere ordini sia in inglese che in italiano.
A summary of this article in english, along with a one click deploy script is available at this repo on GitHub.

In this post, I'll show you how to add a custom chat channel, such as Socket.IO, into Twilio Flex. There are several different ways to integrate a custom channel, but in this article, we will look at the one that doesn't require the development of an additional Flex UI plugin.
Prerequisites to Add a Chat Channel to Twilio Flex
Before we can start, you'll need to make sure you have a few things set up.
- If you haven't yet, sign up for a free Twilio account
- You'll also need a Flex instance set up. Visit our Quickstart if you don't already have one.
After that, you're ready to chat – let's look at the message flow.
Adding a Chat Channel in Flex
Before digging into how a custom chat can be integrated, we need to understand the flow a message goes through before appearing in the Flex UI. Let's …
