60224: Missing substitutions for selected template

The selected template has one or more expected substitutions that were not provided in the request.

• The template requires extra fields for building the message that are not included in the request.
• The substitutions were not provided in the correct format (stringified JSON).

• Include all the substitutions for the place holder variables with the TemplateCustomSubstitution parameter.
• Format the variable object as stringified JSON.

For example, the following template requires a uuid substitution:

"Your {{friendly_name}} login link: https://example.com/verify.html?uuid={{uuid}}&code={{code}}"

The expected request in cURL:

1
curl -X POST https://verify.twilio.com/v2/Services/VAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/Verifications \
2
--data-urlencode "To=+15017122661" \
3
--data-urlencode "Channel=sms" \
4
--data-urlencode "TemplateSid=HJXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" \
5
--data-urlencode "TemplateCustomSubstitutions={ \"uuid\": \"MY_UNIQUE_ID\" }" \
6
-u $TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID:$TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN

The expected request in Node.js:

1
const verification = await client.verify.v2
2
  .services("VAXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX")
3
  .verifications.create({
4
    channel: "sms",
5
    templateSid: "HJXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
6
    to: "+15017122661",
7
    templateCustomSubstitutions: '{ "uuid": "MY_UNIQUE_ID" }'
8
  });

The following variables are auto-populated by Twilio and do not need to be included in your request:

• {{friendly_name}}
• {{code}}
• {{ttl}}
