Objective
This article helps you create a Sync List inside one of your Sync Services. A Sync List is an ordered collection of items, each addressed by an index that Twilio generates, which suits append-style data such as event feeds or activity logs.
Product
Twilio Sync
Environment
Twilio Console
User Account Permission/Role(s) Required
Your user role must allow listing Twilio Sync Services to open the Lists tab, and creating them to add a List.
Procedure
- In the Twilio Console, select Builder tools in the left sidebar.
- Select Sync, then Services.
- In the Name column, select the Service the List belongs in.
- Select the Lists tab.
- Select Create new Sync List.
- In Unique name, optionally enter a name that identifies this List within the Service. You can use it in place of the SID, and it cannot be changed later.
- In Time to live, optionally enter how long in seconds before the List expires and is deleted. Enter 0 for a List that never expires.
- Select Create. The console confirms the new List's SID and opens its detail page, where you manage its items and permissions.
Additional Information
- Time to live must be a whole number of seconds between 0 and 31536000 (one year). A value outside that range is reported as "Input should be between 0 and 31536000 seconds" and the List is not created.
- A List created with a time to live of 0 shows Never in its Date expires field.
- The unique name can be up to 320 characters, and is only settable at creation time.
- The Lists table shows 10 rows per page by default, and you can switch to 40 or 100. Select a row's SID to open the List.
