60423: Multiple contacts were found

Twilio Verify DocumentationVerify

Description

description page anchor

Twilio returns this error when Verify resolves more than one contact from the lookup criteria in your request. Verify cannot continue until your request identifies a single contact record.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • Your request uses lookup criteria that are too broad or ambiguous, so more than one contact matches.
  • You stored duplicate or overlapping identifiers across contacts. unique_customer_provided_id values and channel values must be unique for each contact.
  • You stored or submitted phone-based identifiers in an inconsistent format. Verify and the Contact API require phone numbers in E.164 format.
  • Send one unambiguous identifier for the contact. If you fetch a contact, use either unique_customer_provided_id or channel, not both.
  • Review your contact records and merge or remove duplicates. If the contact already exists, update the existing contact instead of creating another one.
  • Normalize phone numbers to E.164 before you create contacts or start verifications, then retry the request.
  • If you upsert contacts through the Contact API, use each item's correlation_id and response details to identify and correct problematic records before you retry.
