Configure the Serverless Function with a Twilio Phone Number

To open up our app to the web with a public-facing URL, run twilio serverless:deploy from the root directory.

Grab the Function URL corresponding to your app (the one that ends with /dalle) and configure a Twilio phone number with it as shown below: select a Twilio number you purchased in your Twilio phone numbers console and scroll down to the Messaging section. Paste the link in the text field for A MESSAGE COMES IN webhook making sure that it's set to HTTP POST. When you click Save it should look like this!

Now take out your phone and text a question or prompt to your Twilio number.
