60246: Service already exists


ERROR: 60246

error-60246 page anchor
VERIFY
ERROR

This error occurs when you try to create a Verify Service with a UniqueName that is already assigned to another service. A Verify Service contains the shared configuration used to create and check verifications.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • Your create service request included a UniqueName that already exists.
  • Your application retried a previous service creation request and sent the same UniqueName again. Twilio lets you list services and fetch an existing service, which can help you confirm whether the service was already created.
  • Create the service with a different UniqueName.
  • If you intended to reuse an existing Verify Service, list your services with GET /v2/Services and use the existing Service SID instead of creating another service.
  • If you already know the Service SID you want to use, fetch it with GET /v2/Services/{Sid} and update your application to reference that service instead of creating a duplicate.
  • When you create services from the API or Console, store the returned Service SID so later requests can reuse the same service configuration. Verify Services can be created in the Console or with POST /v2/Services.
