Is there a way to create a call script in Twilio without creating many TwiML snippets in separate URLs?

Question

I want to use Twilio to create appointment reminder calls. Each call can have a different call flow with different options for the call recipients to press phone keys, different messages, different languages, etc.

I currently use a service that allows a script to be attached to a call and that script runs on the phone service side so that I don't have to deal with scaling issues when making many thousands of calls at once. I can generate different scripts for each call (or each type of call). I want to switch from that service to Twilio if it's practical.

Since TwiML doesn't have the ability to include logic within a single TwiML file, it seems that in order to do the equivalent would require each call to have many TwiML files. Since I would need each call, or at least each type of call to have different TwiML, I would need to programmatically create each of those files (hosted on Twilio to avoid scaling issues with self-hosting), and somehow manage the many thousands of TwiML files that would remain after each call.

Is there a way to make calls where each call can be attached to a script that incorporates call flow logic?

Answer 1

You can use Twilio Studio or Twilio Functions to do that and more. You can find more information at the respective links. It is pretty straightforward to get started.
