90009: The message SID already exists.


ERROR: 90009

error-90009 page anchor
MESSAGING
ERROR

This error means the request to create a Message resource conflicts with an existing message SID. Twilio identifies each resource with a unique SID, and this error page lists a duplicate message SID as the cause when creating a new message.

Possible causes

possible-causes page anchor
  • A message with the same SID already exists, so the new message request conflicts with an existing resource.
  • Your integration reused a message identifier instead of creating a unique value for the new message. Twilio uses unique SIDs to identify resources.
  • Generate a new, unique message SID before you retry the request.
  • Make sure your application does not reuse the same identifier when creating messages.
  • If you need to inspect an existing message, fetch it with the Messages resource using its SID.
