Messaging Service AlphaSender Resource
Public Beta
The Service Resource is currently available as a Public Beta product. This means that some features for configuring your Messaging Service via the REST API are not yet implemented, and others may be changed before the product is declared Generally Available. Messaging Service Configuration through the Twilio Console is Generally Available.
Public Beta products are not covered by a Twilio SLA.
The resources for sending Messages with a Messaging Service are Generally Available.
The AlphaSender is a subresource of a Service resource and represents an Alphanumeric Sender ID (alpha sender) you have associated with the Service.
When an alpha sender has been added to the Messaging Service, Twilio Programmable Messaging will always attempt to prioritize message delivery with your Alpha Sender where possible.
Each Messaging Services may only have one alpha sender associated with it. To change the Alpha Sender ID, you must first delete the current alpha sender before adding the new one.
This subresource is only available to Accounts in which the Alphanumeric Sender ID is enabled.
Please see this support article for more information on how to use Alphanumeric Sender ID with Messaging Services.
