Function

Functions are JavaScript Node.js code that execute at a particular domain.

The steps to create Functions are as follows:

  1. Create a Function (this resource)
  2. Create a Function Version via serverless.twilio.com

We will need the Function Version SID to include this Function in a Build.

                          A Function will fail to delete if any of its Versions are referenced by an active Build.

                          If necessary, create a new Build that does not include the Function to be deleted, and delete the Function only once the Build has completed.
