50341: Invalid messaging service SID


ERROR: 50341

error-50341 page anchor
CHAT
ERROR

You supplied MessagingServiceSid with a value that does not identify a valid Messaging Service. Use a Messaging Service SID only in requests that accept MessagingServiceSid, and make sure it matches the required MG SID format.

Possible causes

  • The MessagingServiceSid value does not match the required pattern. A valid Messaging Service SID starts with MG and is followed by 32 hexadecimal characters.
  • You passed a SID from a different resource type, such as IS, CH, AC, or SM, instead of a Messaging Service SID. Twilio uses resource-specific SID prefixes, and MessagingServiceSid only accepts an MG SID.
  • The SID was truncated, copied with extra characters or whitespace, or otherwise changed so it no longer matches the exact service SID returned by the Console or API.
  • If you are migrating a Programmable Chat channel, you included MessagingServiceSid in the migration request but used a value that is not a valid Messaging Service for that request.
  • Copy the Messaging Service SID directly from Messaging > Services in Console, or retrieve it from the Messaging Services API, then resend the request with the exact value.
  • Validate MessagingServiceSid before you send the request. It must be exactly 34 characters long and match ^MG[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$.
  • Do not use an Account, Chat Service, Channel, or Message SID in the MessagingServiceSid field. Send only the MG SID for the Messaging Service you want to use.
  • If you are migrating a Chat channel so you can add SMS or WhatsApp participants in Conversations (classic), create or identify the correct Messaging Service first, then include that MessagingServiceSid in the migration request.
