Unable to use a node package

I am creating an http action which imports the node package twilio. I'm getting a series of errors for different packages used by twilio, (e.g crypto, stream,) not found on the file system but built into node:

The package "crypto" wasn't found on the file system but is built into node. Are you trying to
  bundle for node? You can use "platform: 'node'" to do that, which will remove this error.

Even when I add use node on top of the action file. I'm still getting this error.

Hi we don't currently support HTTP actions in node, but perhaps you could put the parts that use the twilio package into an action (which does work with "use node") and call it from the HTTP action using runAction This article https://stack.convex.dev/stripe-with-convex has an example of doing this
