If /else statement in Twilio Function always return false

Question

I want to test my if else condition in the Twilio function. The condition is if the user will text "Hi", Twilio will send him a quote. The problem the condition always runs false even if I texted "Hi". I'm not sure if the event.Body is the right code to get the value of the message body.

exports.handler = function (context, event, callback) {
 const got = require('got');
 
 got('https://cyan-sparrow-7490.twil.io/assets/quote.json').then(response =>{
     let messageBody = event.Body;
     
     const qotd = JSON.parse(response.body);
     let quote = qotd.contents.quotes[0];
     const quoteEffect = messageBody === "Hi"? callback(null,quote): callback(null,null);
     callback(null,quoteEffect);
 });
};

Hi Alan, the return is null in the console.log, Do you know how to get the value of the event.Body? — nomar09, Apr 27 '21 at 05:25
Have you tried `event.body.Body`? I think the `POST` from Twilio is a bit nested, at least that's how I used to get it. — yvesonline, Apr 27 '21 at 06:56
Is Twiliio Studio involved (Run Function Widget) and are you sending the value of body into the Twilio Function as a Function parameter? https://www.twilio.com/docs/studio/widget-library/run-function — Alan, Apr 27 '21 at 12:13
Yes, yvesonline I already tried that. Still cannot get the value of the body of the message. — nomar09, Apr 27 '21 at 12:16

Step 1,

Use the split Based Widget and input to the "Variable to Test" trigger.message.Body
Then add a condition in the Split Based Widget that could be found in the Transitions tab, if the incoming messages is equal to "Hi" then it will proceed to the next widget

Step 2,

Then add a message widget that tells the sender Fetching quote, the purpose of this is just to tell the sender that your processing the quoted message. This is just optional, you can remove this if you want.
