57009: 'EventType' is too long

Twilio Messaging DocumentationMessaging

Description

description page anchor

Twilio returns this error when the EventType value in a Messaging webhook or status callback exceeds the accepted length. EventType is one of the fields Twilio includes in outbound message status callback requests for supported messaging channels.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • The EventType value in the request is longer than Twilio accepts.
  • Your webhook or callback payload includes extra text or formatting instead of the supported event identifier. This is an inference from the error and the documented callback shape.
  • Send the documented EventType value exactly as required for the webhook or callback you are using.
  • Remove any appended labels, whitespace, or other formatting before you send the request to Twilio. This is an inference based on the length error.
  • If you are tracking outbound message delivery, use the Messaging webhook and status callback flow and make sure your endpoint handles the parameters Twilio sends.
