Quick example of using python and Twilio for connecting agent to customer using the VERIFIED caller id of the agent to make the call.
# Download the helper library from https://www.twilio.com/docs/python/install
from twilio.rest import Client

# Your Auth Token from twilio.com/console
auth_token = os.environ.get('TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN')
# YOUR verfied caller id
callerid = str(os.environ.get('TWILIO_MYCALLERID'))
# the number you have purchased in twilio that makes the initial call to the agent
twilio_number = str(os.environ.get('TWILIO_NUMBER'))
# URL of where this file is hosted... {URL}/connectcustomer
twimlurl = 'http://xxxxxxxx.ngrok.io/connectcustomer' #using ngrok locally to test you will need to change this url so that when the agent is connected it calls back this program.
customer_number = '' # leave blank, just setting up var
callerid_yesno = "yes" # use verified caller id
client = Client(account_sid, auth_token)
# provides the xml Twiml to connect the customer to the agent
