Twilio Studio Flow Integration
Integrate Bland within Twilio Studio Flows
Overview
Enterprise customers can integrate Bland within their existing Twilio Studio Flows, allowing seamless transitioning in and out of existing telephony infrastructure.
Pre-requisites:
- Your own Twilio account
- An Existing Twilio Studio Flow hooked up to a Twilio phone number
- A Bland Pathway
Step 1: Bland Twilio Setup
- Create an
encrypted_key
on the same Twilio account that your Studio Flow is hooked up to using the “BYOT” page in the Dev Portal. - Import the phone-number(s) that the Studio Flow is hooked up to through.
Step 2: Twilio Studio Flow Setup
- Add a “twiml-redirect” widget to the flow where you want to transition to Bland.
- Name this widget EXACTLY “bland_widget”.
- Change the url field to the following:
https://us.api.bland.ai/incoming?encrypted_key=YOUR_ENCRYPTED_KEY¶m=YOUR_PARAM
- You MUST add the encrypted key associated with step 2. Any additional parameters will be populated as variables in the Bland Pathway.
This will transition the call to Bland from a studio flow. To transition out of Bland, you’ll need to add a “Twilio Studio Flow” node within the Bland Pathway.
Step 3: Transitioning out of Bland back to Studio Flow (optional)
- Add a “Twilio Studio Flow” node where you’d like to transition out of Bland.
- Follow the instructons in the studio flow node to complete the full setup.
