How do I find a resource or account by its SID in the Twilio Console?

Objective

This article shows you how to paste a SID you already have — an account SID, or the SID of a resource such as a service or a phone number — into Twilio Console search and go straight to the page for it, instead of hunting through lists.

 

Product

Twilio Console

 

Environment

Twilio Console

 

Procedure

  1. Open search from the top bar by selecting the magnifying glass Search control, or press Cmd + K on a Mac or Ctrl + K on Windows and Linux. (When the left sidebar is expanded, the search control appears at the top of the sidebar.)
  2. Paste the SID into the search box.
  3. The panel recognises the identifier and offers a single matching result rather than a list of pages:
  4. For an account SID, the result reads Account home: followed by the SID.
  5. For another resource, the result is named after that resource, with the navigation path to it shown underneath.
  6. Select the result, or press Enter, to open it. An account SID takes you to that account's home page; a resource takes you to that resource's page, or to the list it belongs to.

 

Additional Information

  • Paste the full SID. A partial identifier is treated as ordinary text and searched against page names and documentation instead.
  • If the identifier cannot be resolved, the search box explains why — for example Could not load search results for this resource — and you can search by name instead.
