Twilio Specific Features and Limitations

While importing data to some of Twilio objects you may need to set values for specific fields that are not listed as required.

  • Calls — Set values for either Url, Twiml, or ApplicationSid.
  • Messages — Set the values for Body or MediaUrl and for From or MessagingServiceSid fields.
  • ConversationParticipants — Set Identity value for Chat field; MessagingBinding.Address and MessagingBinding.ProxyAddress for the SMS field.
  • IncomingPhoneNumbers — Set values for either Phonenumber or AreaCode.
  • ConferenceParticipants — While adding a new record to ConferenceParticipants, you may assign the identifier of an already existing conference to the ConferenceSid field with any status other than “completed”. Otherwise, you may set any value for ConferenceSid. In this case a conference with the appropriate name will be created automatically.
