[Message status callback requests](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/api/message-resource#twilios-request-to-the-statuscallback-url) are sent to the TwiML App's `message_status_callback` URL. Note that the `status_callback` parameter of a request takes priority over the `application_sid` parameter; if both are included `application_sid` is ignored. |
# credo:disable-for-next-line Credo.Check.Readability.MaxLineLength
| `Attempt` | integer | Total number of attempts made (including this request) to send the message regardless of the provider used |
# credo:disable-for-next-line Credo.Check.Readability.MaxLineLength
| `Body` | string | The text content of the outgoing message. Can be up to 1,600 characters in length. SMS only: If the `body` contains more than 160 [GSM-7](https://www.twilio.com/docs/glossary/what-is-gsm-7-character-encoding) characters (or 70 [UCS-2](https://www.twilio.com/docs/glossary/what-is-ucs-2-character-encoding) characters), the message is segmented and charged accordingly. For long `body` text, consider using the [send_as_mms parameter](https://www.twilio.com/blog/mms-for-long-text-messages). |
| `ContentRetention` | string |  Values: `retain`, `discard` |
# credo:disable-for-next-line Credo.Check.Readability.MaxLineLength
| `ContentSid` | string | For [Content Editor/API](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content) only: The SID of the Content Template to be used with the Message, e.g., `HXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX`. If this parameter is not provided, a Content Template is not used. Find the SID in the Console on the Content Editor page. For Content API users, the SID is found in Twilio's response when [creating the Template](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content/content-api-resources#create-templates) or by [fetching your Templates](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content/content-api-resources#fetch-all-content-resources). |
# credo:disable-for-next-line Credo.Check.Readability.MaxLineLength
| `ContentVariables` | string | For [Content Editor/API](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content) only: Key-value pairs of [Template variables](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content/using-variables-with-content-api) and their substitution values. `content_sid` parameter must also be provided. If values are not defined in the `content_variables` parameter, the [Template's default placeholder values](https://www.twilio.com/docs/content/content-api-resources#create-templates) are used. |

# credo:disable-for-next-line Credo.Check.Readability.MaxLineLength
| `From` | string (phone-number) | The sender's Twilio phone number (in [E.164](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.164) format), [alphanumeric sender ID](https://www.twilio.com/docs/sms/quickstart), [Wireless SIM](https://www.twilio.com/docs/iot/wireless/programmable-wireless-send-machine-machine-sms-commands), [short code](https://www.twilio.com/en-us/messaging/channels/sms/short-codes), or [channel address](https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/channels) (e.g., `whatsapp:+15554449999`). The value of the `from` parameter must be a sender that is hosted within Twilio and belongs to the Account creating the Message. If you are using `messaging_service_sid`, this parameter can be empty (Twilio assigns a `from` value from the Messaging Service's Sender Pool) or you can provide a specific sender from your Sender Pool. |

You may also provide a `from` parameter if you want to use a specific Sender from the Sender Pool. |
# credo:disable-for-next-line Credo.Check.Readability.MaxLineLength
| `PersistentAction` | array | Rich actions for non-SMS/MMS channels. Used for [sending location in WhatsApp messages](https://www.twilio.com/docs/whatsapp/message-features#location-messages-with-whatsapp). |

URL must contain a valid hostname and underscores are not allowed. If you include this parameter with the `messaging_service_sid`, Twilio uses this URL instead of the Status Callback URL of the [Messaging Service](https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/api/service-resource).  |
