Credential Resource

The Credential resource represents one credential record for a specific push notifications channel. Twilio Conversations supports the APNS, FCM, and GCM push notification channels. Each push notification channel vendor issues its own Credentials, and they can vary between vendors. The Credential resource allows you to save the Credentials that should be used for push notifications to a specific channel.
