50211: Identity parameter not acceptable for this Participant
ERROR: 50211

Error - 50211
Conversations: Identity parameter not acceptable for this Participant
Participants on SMS, WhatsApp or other non-Chat channels cannot have Identities.
Possible Causes
This error is fired when the parameter Identity is provided together with either:
MessagingBinding.Address,
MessagingBinding.ProxyAddress, or
both of the above.
As the error indicates, such a combination is not allowed. You can provide either an address binding or an Identity, but not both.
Possible Solutions
Avoid using both Identity and MessagingBinding.Address parameters when creating a Conversation participant. Instead, distinguish the use-case for your participants upfront and supply either the Identity for users of Programmable Chat Web/iOS/Android SDKs, or MessagingBinding.Address for non-Chat users such as SMS, MMS, WhatsApp, etc.
