57008: 'EventType' format must be String

Twilio Messaging DocumentationMessaging

Description

description page anchor

Twilio returns this error when the request includes EventType, but the value is not a string. This code appears in the Messaging error dictionary.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • EventType was sent in a format other than a string.
  • The request payload was built or serialized incorrectly, so EventType did not reach Twilio as a string.
  • Pass EventType as a string value in the request.
  • Review the code that builds the request payload and make sure EventType stays a string before you send it.
  • Check the error logs to inspect the exact request that Twilio received.
