You will need data like the Account SID, Auth Token and Twilio numbers to interact with the Twilio API. These environment variables should be kept private, so you should not put their values in the code. Instead, you can store them in a .env file. A .env file can be used whenever there are environment variables you need to make available to your operating system.

Next, open the .env file in your favorite text editor and add the following lines, replacing the random string placeholder values with your values:

TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID = YOUR TWILIO ACCOUNT SID
TWILIO_TOKEN = YOUR TWILIO ACCOUNT TOKEN
TWILIO_NUMBER = YOUR TWILIO NUMBER
RECEIVER_NUMBER = NUMBER YOU WANT TO SEND SMS TO

For the phone numbers above, make sure you have entered them in E.164 format.
