A typical wiring for [send message](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/twilio/twilioconnection_reply_whatsapp_message): a [function trigger](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/globals/trigger_custom_function) starts the flow; [connection](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/twilio/function_create_twilioconnection) feeds the `connection` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `to` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `from` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `message` pin; [value](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/value/value_default) feeds the `content_sid` pin; the `flow` out pin feeds [debug](https://docs.rual.nl/block-types/state%20ui/state_debug).
