Twilio Messaging DocumentationMessaging

Description

description page anchor

This error means the request included Category without a value. Twilio returns this error for Messaging requests when Category is empty or not specified.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • Category was omitted from the request.
  • Category was sent as an empty string or blank value.
  • Pass a valid, non-empty Category value in the request.
  • Validate required fields before sending the request so blank values are rejected earlier. Twilio validates provided parameters and surfaces the exact error, causes, and suggested solutions in error logs.
