Twilio Messaging DocumentationMessaging

Description

description page anchor

Twilio returns 57016 when the request includes a Topic field, but that field is empty. This error appears in the Messaging section of the Error and Warning Dictionary.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • Your request sends Topic without a value.
  • Your application builds the request payload with an empty Topic value before it reaches Twilio.
  • Send a non-empty Topic value in the request.
  • Check the request in Twilio Error Logs or Programmable Messaging logs to confirm the value that reached Twilio, then fix the code path that leaves Topic blank.
