To access the Twilio client initialized with credentials saved on this Twilio service connection, see the following example:
// To use a twilio client initialized with credentials provided
// in a Twilio connection
const client = zingyConn.twilio(connectionName);You may also initialize a seperate Twilio client, by specifying account credentials directly:

const client = require('twilio')(accountSid, authToken);After the client object is initialized, you can use it to call into the Twilio library. Refer to Twilio library documentation for more information.
