Parameters

required

The SID of the [Account](https://www.twilio.com/docs/iam/api/account) creating the Message resource.

Input

required

The recipient's phone number in [E.164](https://www.twilio.com/docs/glossary/what-e164) format (for SMS/MMS) or [channel address](https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/channels), e.g. `whatsapp:+15552229999`.

The URL of the endpoint to which Twilio sends [Message status callback requests](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/api/message-resource#twilios-request-to-the-statuscallback-url). URL must contain a valid hostname and underscores are not allowed. If you include this parameter with the `messaging_service_sid`, Twilio uses this URL instead of the Status Callback URL of the [Messaging Service](https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/api/service-resource).

The SID of the associated [TwiML Application](https://www.twilio.com/docs/usage/api/applications). [Message status callback requests](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/api/message-resource#twilios-request-to-the-statuscallback-url) are sent to the TwiML App's `message_status_callback` URL. Note that the `status_callback` parameter of a request takes priority over the `application_sid` parameter; if both are included `application_sid` is ignored.

[OBSOLETE] This parameter will no longer have any effect as of 2024-06-03.

Boolean indicating whether or not you intend to provide delivery confirmation feedback to Twilio (used in conjunction with the [Message Feedback subresource](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/api/message-feedback-resource)). Default value is `false`.

Total number of attempts made (including this request) to send the message regardless of the provider used

The maximum length in seconds that the Message can remain in Twilio's outgoing message queue. If a queued Message exceeds the `validity_period`, the Message is not sent. Accepted values are integers from `1` to `36000`. Default value is `36000`. A `validity_period` greater than `5` is recommended. [Learn more about the validity period](https://www.twilio.com/blog/take-more-control-of-outbound-messages-using-validity-period-html)

Reserved

Determines if the message content can be stored or redacted based on privacy settings

Determines if the address can be stored or obfuscated based on privacy settings

Whether to detect Unicode characters that have a similar GSM-7 character and replace them. Can be: `true` or `false`.

Rich actions for non-SMS/MMS channels. Used for [sending location in WhatsApp messages](https://www.twilio.com/docs/whatsapp/message-features#location-messages-with-whatsapp).

For Messaging Services with [Link Shortening configured](https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/features/link-shortening) only: A Boolean indicating whether or not Twilio should shorten links in the `body` of the Message. Default value is `false`. If `true`, the `messaging_service_sid` parameter must also be provided.

For Messaging Services only: Include this parameter with a value of `fixed` in conjuction with the `send_time` parameter in order to [schedule a Message](https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/features/message-scheduling).

The time that Twilio will send the message. Must be in ISO 8601 format.

If set to `true`, Twilio delivers the message as a single MMS message, regardless of the presence of media.

For [Content Editor/API](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content) only: Key-value pairs of [Template variables](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content/using-variables-with-content-api) and their substitution values. `content_sid` parameter must also be provided. If values are not defined in the `content_variables` parameter, the [Template's default placeholder values](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content/content-api-resources#create-templates) are used.

Include this parameter with a value of `disable` to skip any kind of risk check on the respective message request.

The sender's Twilio phone number (in [E.164](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) format), [alphanumeric sender ID](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/quickstart), [Wireless SIM](https://www.twilio.com/docs/iot/wireless/programmable-wireless-send-machine-machine-sms-commands), [short code](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/messaging/channels/sms/short-codes), or [channel address](https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/channels) (e.g., `whatsapp:+15554449999`). The value of the `from` parameter must be a sender that is hosted within Twilio and belongs to the Account creating the Message. If you are using `messaging_service_sid`, this parameter can be empty (Twilio assigns a `from` value from the Messaging Service's Sender Pool) or you can provide a specific sender from your Sender Pool.

A fallback SMS sender to use when the recipient cannot be reached over RCS. This parameter may only be used when also providing a [Messaging Service](https://twilio.com/docs/messaging/services) containing an RCS sender. The fallback SMS sender must be either a Twilio phone number (in [E.164](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) format), [alphanumeric sender ID](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/quickstart), or [short code](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/messaging/channels/sms/short-codes), hosted within Twilio and belong to the Account creating the Message.

The SID of the [Messaging Service](https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/services) you want to associate with the Message. When this parameter is provided and the `from` parameter is omitted, Twilio selects the optimal sender from the Messaging Service's Sender Pool. You may also provide a `from` parameter if you want to use a specific Sender from the Sender Pool.

The text content of the outgoing message. Can be up to 1,600 characters in length. SMS only: If the `body` contains more than 160 [GSM-7](https://www.twilio.com/docs/glossary/what-is-gsm-7-character-encoding) characters (or 70 [UCS-2](https://www.twilio.com/docs/glossary/what-is-ucs-2-character-encoding) characters), the message is segmented and charged accordingly. For long `body` text, consider using the [send_as_mms parameter](https://www.twilio.com/blog/mms-for-long-text-messages).

The URL of media to include in the Message content. `jpeg`, `jpg`, `gif`, and `png` file types are fully supported by Twilio and content is formatted for delivery on destination devices. The media size limit is 5 MB for supported file types (`jpeg`, `jpg`, `png`, `gif`) and 500 KB for [other types](https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/guides/accepted-mime-types) of accepted media. To send more than one image in the message, provide multiple `media_url` parameters in the POST request. You can include up to ten `media_url` parameters per message. [International](https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/223179808-Sending-and-receiving-MMS-messages) and [carrier](https://support.twilio.com/hc/en-us/articles/223133707-Is-MMS-supported-for-all-carriers-in-US-and-Canada-) limits apply.

For [Content Editor/API](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content) only: The SID of the Content Template to be used with the Message, e.g., `HXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX`. If this parameter is not provided, a Content Template is not used. Find the SID in the Console on the Content Editor page. For Content API users, the SID is found in Twilio's response when [creating the Template](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content/content-api-resources#create-templates) or by [fetching your Templates](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content/content-api-resources#fetch-all-content-resources).
