Programmable Chat Binding Resource


(error)

Danger

Programmable Chat has been deprecated and is no longer supported. Instead, we'll be focusing on the next generation of chat: Twilio Conversations. Find out more about the EOL process here(link takes you to an external page).

If you're starting a new project, please visit the Conversations Docs to begin. If you've already built on Programmable Chat, please visit our Migration Guide to learn about how to switch.

A Binding resource of Programmable Chat represents a push notification subscription for a User within their Service instance. Bindings are unique per service instance, user identity, device, and notification channel (such as APNS, GCM, FCM).

We recommend following the standard URI specification and avoid the following reserved characters ! * ' ( ) ; : @ & = + $ , / ? % # [ ] for values such as identity and friendly name.
