Messaging Services are designed to help you scale your application’s messaging from your first SMS to messages sent globally, in multiple languages, from more than just long code phone numbers.Īs soon as you create your Messaging Service, the following features apply automatically. “Out-of-the-box” Messaging Service features Under that Service's Sender Pool, you can Add Senders and specify the WhatsApp-enabled Twilio number that you wish to include.įor more information about configuring the WhatsApp Business API with Twilio, please read Connect your Twilio Number to your WhatsApp Business Profile. To include WhatsApp in your Sender Pool, in the Twilio Console, navigate to the Messaging > Services section and select a Messaging Service. In the feature descriptions below, we include whether the feature is supported for both SMS and WhatsApp. This way, you can configure and apply the relevant Messaging Service features, such as setting a Validity Period, for all sender types in one Service all at once. You can add a WhatsApp-enabled Twilio phone number to the other sender-types (long codes, short codes, etc.) in your Messaging Service Sender Pool. Any delivery errors will be sent asynchronously to your StatusCallbackURL. Twilio will then determine the optimal From phone number from your service. When sending a message with a messaging service, Twilio will immediately set the message’s status to accepted. Twilio will then choose one of the phone numbers in your Messaging Service’s sender pool based on your service’s configuration. However, instead of including a From phone number, you’ll include a MessagingServiceSid. If you use a messaging service to send a message, your request to Twilio will look very similar to sending an SMS with the REST API. You can add additional messaging features (described below) to your application through your newly configured messaging service. You’ll also need to associate one or more phone numbers or short codes to the Service to send messages. With each Messaging Service that you add through the console, you’ll start by configuring both the Inbound Request and Status Callback URLs. The same settings and feature configuration applies to all of the senders (long code numbers, short codes, toll-free numbers, etc.) in the Messaging Service’s pool.Ī Messaging Service’s features can be managed and configured directly through the Console as well as using the REST API. You can think of a Messaging Service as a higher-level “bundling” of messaging functionality around a common set of senders, features, and configuration. As the complexity of your messaging application grows, it’s helpful to organize your account and message logs into separate Messaging Services using Twilio Programmable Messaging.

Sending a high volume of messages in the United States and globally quickly becomes complex.
