Short Codes Subresource
Twilio's Messaging Services API is currently available as a Public Beta product. Some features are not yet implemented and others may be changed before the product is declared as Generally Available.
Public Beta products are not covered by a Twilio SLA.
The Short Code subresource of a Service instance represents the short codes you have associated to the Service.
When a shortcode has been added to the Messaging Service, Copilot will always attempt to prioritize message delivery with your shortcode when possible. If the shortcode 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 to a Messaging Service are passed to the inbound request URL of the Service. Twilio will make HTTP requests with the following parameters and values to the application you have hosted in this URL.
