63001: Channel authentication failed. See Channel-specific error for details

Twilio Messaging DocumentationMessaging

Description

description page anchor

Twilio returns this error when a non-SMS messaging channel cannot authenticate your request with the underlying channel provider. Check the channel-specific failure details in ChannelStatusMessage or in your StatusCallback request to identify why the provider rejected authentication.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • The channel authentication credentials are incorrect or no longer valid.
  • Facebook identified a potential security issue and rotated the token used for the sender.
  • The Facebook user who connected the Facebook Page to Twilio changed their password.
  • The user de-authorized the Twilio app.
  • Re-authentication can also fail if the account used for setup no longer has admin access to the Facebook Page.
  • Review ChannelStatusMessage in your message status callback to see the error returned by the underlying channel.
  • Reconnect Facebook Messenger in Console and authorize the Facebook Page again. During setup, connect with Facebook and select the Facebook Pages you want to authorize as Senders.
  • Make sure the Facebook account you use to reconnect has admin access to the Facebook Page.
  • If Facebook rotated the token, the connected user changed their password, or the app was de-authorized, re-authenticate the sender. If the issue continues, delete the sender and add it again.
  • Review your Programmable Messaging logs for the affected Message SID while you troubleshoot.
