'How to block specific number on twilio
SO I have a website that is getting some calls and I'm forwarding those calls to my client through Twilio.
I've created a call forwarding workflow in twilio and then connected that workflow to a specific number. Now I'm getting some junk calls to & i want to block those specific number is there any easy way to do that?
here's a screenshot of the workflow.

Consider using a SPLIT block: https://www.twilio.com/docs/studio/widget-library/split-based-on
Split is an additional block for "if match" logic, your split block can focus on the incoming caller ID number where "if incoming number = XXX take route A - ELSE - for everyone else, take route B" you would insert this block before the forward_call block handler and update the logic regularly with the numbers you wish to drop in route A.

Twilio Studio is great, but in your case this code sample might be even better as it already does what you are looking for :) https://www.twilio.com/code-exchange/block-spam-calls
