# POST /api/twilio/sms-consent

SMS Consent: records a consent or opt-out transition with its proof-of-consent evidence.

Upserts the consent record for the phone number in the caller's merchant scope and appends the
transition to its audit history. Requires the manage permission.

**Operation ID:** `smsConsentRecordConsent`

## Authorization

Requires: Twilio.SmsConsent.View, Twilio.SmsConsent.Manage, merchant scope.

Requires API key scope: `admin`

Required permissions:
- `Twilio.SmsConsent.View`
- `Twilio.SmsConsent.Manage`

## Parameters

| Name | In | Required | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| suppressNulls | query | no | boolean | If true, omit properties with null values. |

## Request Body

The phone number, target status, capture method, and evidence.

**Content type:** `application/json`

Schema: [`RecordSmsConsentInput`](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RecordSmsConsentInput.md)

Properties:
- `phoneNumber` (string) required: Recipient phone number in any common format; normalized to E.164 before persisting. (nullable)
- `status` ([SmsConsentStatus](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/SmsConsentStatus.md)): The status this transition sets (opted in or opted out).
  Values:
  - `OptedIn`: The recipient has expressly consented to receive SMS from this merchant. Sends are allowed.
  - `OptedOut`: The recipient has revoked consent (STOP keyword, carrier unsubscribe, or an operator action). The send-time gate blocks every SMS to this number for this merchant until a re-opt-in is recorded.
- `captureMethod` ([SmsConsentCaptureMethod](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/SmsConsentCaptureMethod.md)): How the evidence for this transition was captured.
  Values:
  - `Unknown`: Capture method was not supplied. Treated as the least-authoritative evidence.
  - `WebForm`: Recipient opted in through a public web form (e.g. a hosted checkout consent checkbox).
  - `VirtualTerminal`: An operator captured consent while taking the payment in the Virtual Terminal.
  - `HostedPaymentPage`: Consent was captured on a Hosted Payment Page flow.
  - `Import`: The record was created from a bulk import of prior consent evidence.
  - `ApiRequest`: Consent or opt-out was recorded through the API by an integrating system.
  - `AdminEntry`: An administrator recorded the consent or opt-out manually.
  - `CarrierBackfill`: Opt-out was back-filled from a carrier send-time signal (Twilio error 21610 on send). The platform learned of the revocation from the carrier rather than capturing it directly. Inbound STOP / START replies use InboundKeyword instead, which keeps a more precise evidence trail.
  - `InboundKeyword`: Consent transition was captured from an inbound SMS keyword the recipient texted to the platform number (STOP / UNSUBSCRIBE / START / etc.), received on the Twilio inbound webhook. The inbound message SID is retained as the evidence reference.
- `evidenceText` (string): Free-text proof-of-consent evidence (consent language shown, keyword received, operator note). (nullable, max length 2000)
- `evidenceReference` (string): Stable reference to the transition source (flow id, form URL, message SID, import batch). (nullable, max length 512)
- `merchantId` (string(uuid)): Merchant the consent is scoped to. Honoured only when the caller holds  `SmsConsent.ViewAllMerchants`; otherwise the caller's own merchant is used. Consent never transfers across merchants. (nullable)

_Example: Request failed validation_

One or more fields were rejected before any rule ran. error.code is null on the envelope and the causes are in validationErrors, one entry per failure. An entry carries code when the validator declared a publishable one, and memberPaths when the full path says more than members does (an element inside a collection, for example). Both keys are omitted when they would add nothing.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "null",
    "message": "Your request is not valid!",
    "details": "The following errors were detected during validation.",
    "data": {

        "members": [
          "amount"
        ]
      },

_Example: Resource not found_

The id in the path names no record the caller can see. Most resources answer with a null error.code and a message naming the resource type and the id; a resource that publishes a not-found code in the catalog above carries it in error.code instead, so check for one before matching on the message.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "null",
    "message": "There is no entity Transaction with id = 7d1f3a52-0c4e-4b8a-9e21-5a6b7c8d9e00!",

### default

The request failed. The body carries the standard error envelope: a machine-readable `error.code`, a human-readable `error.message`, and `error.validationErrors` when the failure was a validation rejection. The [error reference](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/errors.md) lists the values `error.code` can take.

_Example: Business rule refused the request_

The request was understood and rejected by a platform rule. This is the shape that carries a code from the catalog above, so branch on error.code rather than on the message text. The HTTP status is the one listed against the code.

```json
{
  "error": {
    "code": "Transactions:OperationNotAllowed",
    "message": "The operation 'Void' is not allowed on a Sale transaction with result 'Approved' and settlement state 'Settled'.",
    "details": "null",
    "data": {
      "correlationId": "0123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef"
    },
    "validationErrors": "null"
  }
}
```

### 429

The request was refused because a rate limit was exceeded, or because something a later retry can clear stopped it. A rate limit refusal carries an `application/problem+json` body: wait at least the interval `Retry-After` names before retrying, then back off. Limits are tuned per deployment, so read the allowance from the response headers rather than assuming a fixed ceiling. Any other refusal carries the standard error envelope as `application/json`, and its `error.code` names the cause.

**Content type:** `application/problem+json`

Schema: [`RateLimitProblemDetails`](https://devportal.demo.winkpg.io/docs/api/models/RateLimitProblemDetails.md)

Properties:
- `type` (string) required: The problem type identifier. Always the same value: the failure is the status code itself,  so there is no sub-type for a caller to branch on. (nullable)
- `title` (string) required: A short, human-readable summary of the problem type. (nullable)
- `status` (integer(int32)) required: The HTTP status code, repeated in the body as the problem-details format defines.
- `detail` (string) required: A human-readable explanation of this occurrence of the problem. (nullable)
- `retryAfterSeconds` (integer(int32)) required: How long to wait before retrying, in whole seconds, carrying the same figure as the  `Retry-After` header. Always at least one: a value of zero would invite an immediate  retry that is certain to be rejected again.
