ShortCode 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 ShortCode subresource of a Service Resource represents the short codes you have associated to the Service.

When a short code has been added to the Messaging Service, Copilot will always attempt to prioritize message delivery with your short code when possible. If the short code cannot be used to reach your user, Copilot's Shortcode Reroute will select a phone number in your Service instead.

Inbound messages received on any of short codes associated with a Messaging Service are passed to the inbound request URL of the Service with the TWiML parameters that describe the message.
