Objective
Service names are how you tell your Messaging Services apart in the Console. This article shows you how to change a service's name when its purpose changes or its original name is no longer clear.
Product
Programmable Messaging
Environment
Twilio Console
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Communications in the left sidebar.
- Select Messaging, then Services.
- Find the service you want to rename. You can rename it from either place:
- From the list, open the row's actions menu and select Rename.
- Or select the service to open it, open the actions menu in the page header, and select Rename.
- In the Rename Messaging Service dialog, enter the new name in Messaging Service name.
- Select Save.
- The new name appears in the service list and in the service's page title.
Additional Information
- Renaming only changes the name. The Service SID stays the same, and every other setting on the service, inbound handling, delivery status callback, sender selection, and content options, is left untouched.
- Because the SID does not change, you do not need to update any application code that references the service.
