90033: Broadcast recipient's 'to' is too long


ERROR: 90033

error-90033 page anchor
ERROR

The recipient to value in your Notify broadcast request is longer than the maximum length allowed for the selected channel. Twilio rejects the request when a destination address does not match the expected format or exceeds channel limits.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • You sent a phone number, identity, or device address that is longer than the channel supports.
  • The to value includes extra characters such as spaces, formatting symbols, or concatenated data that make the address invalid.
  • You used the wrong destination type for the channel, such as sending a non-phone-number value for an sms or mms notification.
  • Your application passed an unvalidated user-supplied value into the recipient list.
  • Validate each recipient address before you send the broadcast.
  • For sms and mms, send the destination as a valid phone number in E.164 format.
  • Make sure the to value matches the channel you selected and remove any unsupported prefixes, labels, or appended metadata.
  • Review your application logic for string concatenation or serialization issues that can make the destination value too long.
  • If you are sending to identities or bindings, confirm that the stored address or identity value is within the limits required by your Notify integration.
