30878: Verification rejection - Disallowed: SHAFT - Tobacco / Vape

Twilio Messaging DocumentationMessaging

Description

description page anchor

Twilio rejected your verification request because the submission indicates a forbidden SHAFT use case involving tobacco, vape, or e-cigarettes. Twilio doesn't support these categories on SMS or MMS.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • Your business description or stated use case indicates tobacco, vape, or e-cigarette messaging.
  • Your website, sample messages, opt-in details, or other verification data caused the request to be categorized as a forbidden SHAFT use case.
  • Your use case relies on age gating, but tobacco, vape, and e-cigarette traffic is not allowed on messaging regardless of age gating.
  • Remove tobacco, vape, and e-cigarette traffic from the messaging use case. These categories aren't supported on messaging.
  • If the rejection is incorrect, contact Support and provide additional information that clearly explains your business and messaging use case.
  • Check the verification record in the API or Console. If edit_allowed is true, update the request and resubmit it before edit_expiration. If the rejection is for content or Messaging Policy violations, the request isn't eligible for resubmission.
