30139: URL not valid for link shortening

This error occurs when you send a message with link shortening enabled and one or more URLs in the message body are not valid. To shorten a URL, Twilio requires a valid URL with properly encoded special characters.

• A URL in the message body contains special characters that were not percent-encoded.
• A URL includes a raw % character that is not followed by two hexadecimal digits.
• A path or query string contains non-ASCII or reserved characters such as ñ or = without encoding.
• A URL is missing a valid scheme or host.

• Percent-encode special characters in each URL before you send the message.
• Confirm that every URL includes a valid scheme and host, such as https://example.com.
• Encode non-ASCII characters in the path. For example, change https://example.com/hola/mañana to https://example.com/hola/ma%C3%B1ana.
• Encode reserved query characters when they are part of a parameter value. For example, change https://example.com/callback?token=abc123== to https://example.com/callback?token=abc123%3D%3D.
• Encode a literal % as %25. For example, change https://example.com/path%test to https://example.com/path%25test.
• Test the final message body with link shortening enabled before you send at scale.
