Texts go out from the rep the customer already knows

When the sending user has a number assigned, the text is addressed from that specific line rather than letting the carrier pick any number in the pool.

What it is

The SMS adapter accepts an explicit from-number. When present it pins the send to that line; otherwise it falls back to the Messaging Service, and finally to the binding's default number. Compliance is unaffected because a number carries its campaign association through its service membership, not through how the send is addressed.

01The caller supplies the sending user's assigned number.
02The adapter normalises it to E.164 and sets it as the From.
03With no pinned number, the Messaging Service SID is used instead.
Two threads side by side: one with a consistent sender number, one alternating between three numbers, with the second marked as the old behaviour. Sample data — no customer information appears here.
How it works
  1. 1The caller supplies the sending user's assigned number.
  2. 2The adapter normalises it to E.164 and sets it as the From.
  3. 3With no pinned number, the Messaging Service SID is used instead.
  4. 4Both the modern phoneNumber and the legacy from config keys are accepted so a hand-made binding still works.
Why we built it

The comment lays out the failure: 'Sending via MessagingServiceSid lets Twilio choose any number in the pool, which is right for broadcast and wrong for a conversation: the customer sees a different sender than the one they have been talking to, and their reply lands with whoever owns that number instead of the rep handling them. Naming the number keeps the thread coherent.'

The problem
  • Pool-based sending broke conversation continuity and misrouted replies.
Sound familiar?
What you get
The customer always sees the same number for the same rep.
Replies land with the person handling them.
Campaign compliance is unchanged.
