Troubleshooting Delivery Errors
This guide is intended to help you troubleshoot delivery errors on SMS channels. There are a few possible causes depending on the channel you're using:

To view your error and sending logs, navigate to your settings and click your Twilio channel:
Next, click either the number you see under "Recent Errors"
You can use your sending log to isolate the issue and make the necessary adjustments. In the log pictured below, a trial Twilio number has been connected and then sent messages to a contact whom they hadn't verified through their Twilio account.
Please include links to errors when sending us a support request
Alternatively, you can send us a link to the profile of the contact to whom the failed messages were sent:

Please include a link to the error or contact profile in your support request.
If you suspect a workflow isn't behaving as expected, select "Results" from the ☰ menu icon located in the flow editor to bring up the most recent runs your contacts have made:
