Twilio Changelog

Google Business Messages ("GBM") is available in Public Beta. GBM lets people contact your business directly from Google Search, Google Maps and other entry points of your choosing. GBM chats happen on Google's Messages app on Android, and through Google Maps on iOS. 

To use Google Business Messages, head to Twilio Console's "Channels" area and create a brand and sender. You can receive and respond to GBM messages using Conversations API, Programmable Messaging API and Twilio Flex. Learn how to set up Google Business Messages.

Facebook Messenger and Google Business Messages channels are available for Flex Conversations in Public Beta. When configured, agents in your contact center can use these channels to send and receive messages from your customers. For information about how to enable these channels, see the documentation about using Flex with Facebook Messenger and Google Business Messages. 

To use Facebook Messenger and Google Business Messages channels, you must upgrade to Flex UI 2.4.0 or later. For more details about these features and other Flex UI 2.4.0 updates, see the Flex UI Release Notes for v2.x.x.

Inbound Programmable Voice and Elastic SIP Trunking calls to phone numbers in Twilio Trial Accounts are now required to be from numbers which have been Verified in that Trial Account.

The Real-time Queues View now offers four new metrics to better manage your contact center: average speed of answer (ASA), average handle time (AHT), missed invitations, and average abandon time. 

These new metrics are available in Flex UI 2.4.0 and later. For more details about this feature and other Flex UI updates, see the Flex UI Release Notes for v2.x.x.

Branded Calling is now available in Public Beta. Customers can create a Branded Calling Trust Product in the Twilio Trust Hub using the Trust Hub REST API and enable displaying of the Company Name in the caller ID for outbound calls made to cell phones. Customers need to onboard to Voice Integrity as a prerequisite to Branded Calling. 

If you are currently using Branded Calling, you will need to update the Branded Calling End User in code.

On October 23rd, 2023, certificate for the Osaka regional ingress edge for the REST API products (e.g. chat.osaka.*.twilio.com) will be renewed. The root, intermediate certificate (ICA) will be renewed, as well as the certificate serial number will be changed. Such updates are common practice and do not impact customers that are using Twilio's services unless you are pinning certificates or are managing them manually.

SendGrid is rolling out an updated login experience that will route customers to a login page appropriate for the authentication method assigned to the user. For example, Single Sign-On (SSO) users will be routed to their identity provider's sign in page; basic authentication users will be routed to enter in their password. No action is required for customers at this time.

UPDATED MIGRATION SCHEDULE: On 23 January 2024 Twilio will be updating the media IPs and port ranges for SIP and Voice SDK calls in all regions to 168.86.128.0/18 and expanding the UDP port range to 10000-60000. Old IP and port ranges will no longer accept or send traffic after this date. Before this new migration date, we'll perform two days of testing with limited traffic, impacting Flex, SIP, and Voice SDK calls using the old IP and port ranges. Learn more.
