Programmable Chat has been deprecated and is no longer supported. Instead, we'll be focusing on the next generation of chat: Twilio Conversations. Find out more about the EOL process here.
If you're starting a new project, please visit the Conversations Docs to begin. If you've already built on Programmable Chat, please visit our Migration Guide to learn about how to switch.
A Binding resource of Programmable Chat represents a push notification subscription for a User within their Service instance. Bindings are unique per service instance, user identity, device, and notification channel (such as APNS, GCM, FCM).
We recommend following the standard URI specification and avoid the following reserved characters ! * ' ( ) ; : @ & = + $ , / ? % # [ ] for values such as identity and friendly name.
Each Binding resource contains these properties.
The unique string that we created to identify the Binding resource.
^BS[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34The SID of the Account that created the Binding resource.
^AC[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34The SID of the Service the Binding resource is associated with.
^IS[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34The date and time in GMT when the resource was created specified in ISO 8601 format.
The date and time in GMT when the resource was last updated specified in ISO 8601 format.
The unique endpoint identifier for the Binding. The format of this value depends on the binding_type.
The application-defined string that uniquely identifies the resource's User within the Service. See access tokens for more info.
The SID of the Credential for the binding. See push notification configuration for more info.
^CR[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34The push technology to use for the Binding. Can be: apn, gcm, or fcm. See push notification configuration for more info.
