Verify Events: Verification Stream (all versions) will no longer provide updated message delivery status or error code information
Twilio Verify Events: Delivery Status and Error Code Information Removed from Verification Stream Twilio is discontinuing delivery status updates and error code information from the Verification Event stream for new customers. The delivery_status field will be frozen at a static "SENT" value, and the error_code attribute will be removed entirely. This change directs new subscribers to use Twilio's new Message Status Event Stream for real-time delivery status tracking. The modification affects how developers monitor verification message delivery and troubleshoot failures, requiring migration to alternative event streams for comprehensive delivery insights.
EUM / SES Relevance
This change is relevant to AWS EUM and SES as it reflects broader industry trends in message delivery tracking and event stream architecture. Twilio's shift toward dedicated Message Status Event Streams parallels how AWS messaging services structure delivery notifications and status reporting, highlighting the importance of robust event-driven delivery insights for customers managing verification and transactional messaging at scale.
