Programmable Chat has been deprecated and is no longer supported. Instead, we'll be focusing on the next generation of chat: Twilio Conversations. Find out more about the EOL process here.
If you're starting a new project, please visit the Conversations Docs to begin. If you've already built on Programmable Chat, please visit our Migration Guide to learn about how to switch.
A Channel Webhook resource describes a webhook target that is specific to a Channel. By default, events in a Programmable Chat instance are delivered to a webhook address that is specified for the whole Chat Service. However, you can use this resource to specify up to five unique webhook targets for each channel to handle exceptional cases.
The webhook target can be a Web URL or a Studio Flow.
The unique string that we created to identify the Channel Webhook resource.
