Serverless function for sending a contact form information email.

serverless-message

This is the example application for my blog article. You can find the article here:

It uses the Serverless framework to build a serverless function. The function sends an email to the configured email address with the customer contact information.

The application uses Twilio Sendgrid for sending the email.
