45202: Resource Already Exists


ERROR: 45202

error-45202 page anchor
FLEX
ERROR

The request tried to create a Flex resource that already exists. Twilio returns this error when the resource you are creating conflicts with an existing resource that has the same unique identifier or configuration.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • You sent a create request for a resource that already exists in your Flex account.
  • The request included a unique value, such as a name or identifier, that is already in use.
  • Your application retried a create operation after the first request had already succeeded.
  • Your integration is creating duplicate resources because it is not checking for an existing resource before sending the request.
  • Review the resource identifier in your request and confirm that it is unique.
  • Check whether the resource already exists before you try to create it.
  • If you intended to update an existing resource, use the appropriate update operation instead of creating a new resource.
  • Make sure your application handles retries safely so it does not create duplicate requests.
  • Review your Flex configuration and API request parameters for duplicate values.
