Summary

The article explains how to create a no-code solution using Twilio Studio to respond to incoming text messages with a GIF. To start, you need a free Twilio account and a phone number, then navigate to the Studio Flows section of your Twilio Console to create a new flow. The trigger for the flow is set to an incoming message, which will cause the app to run and send a response. A Send Message widget is added to the canvas and configured with a GIF URL obtained from either Twilio Assets or a public GIF aggregator like Giphy. The widget is then saved and published, and finally attached to the Twilio phone number. With this setup, anyone texting the number will receive the chosen GIF in response.
