Notify Service Resource


A Service is the top-level scope of all other resources in Notify REST API.

You can create up to 10 Service resources per account and you can use them to:

  • Create separate operational environments, such as dev , stage , and prod , all using the same Twilio account.
  • Scope access to resources used by the Notify REST API
  • Configure different behaviors of a push-notification or messaging service.

If you need more than 10 Service resources for your account, please contact support(link takes you to an external page).
