Address Configuration Resource

The Address Configuration resource manages the configurations related to a unique address within the Conversations (classic) product, allowing you to specify which addresses should auto-create a Conversation upon receiving an inbound message.
The unique address must be a single address (i.e. a WhatsApp or SMS phone number) that belongs to your Twilio Account.

The configuration can optionally include automatically attaching a Conversation-scoped Webhook to the auto-created conversations.
