Checklist for getting a business texting campaign approved

Twilio rejected mine three times with error 30909 and never said which part was wrong. The problem was the Message Flow field, not the description I kept rewriting.

Read the Message Flow field directly. It's under the end user consent section: "How do end-users opt in to receive messages?"

Make sure that opt-in really exists. Mine described a sign-up form my site didn't have.

Put the opt-in on your site: a phone field and an unchecked consent box.

Add texting language to your privacy page.

Check your form actually saves the consent, so you have a record.

After resubmitting, re-read the saved field from a second screen. Edits don't always stick, and some pages show old cached values.
