# 50702: Verify Agent participant must not have identity or address fields

Log Type: TWILIO

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

This error occurs when you create a Verify Agent participant and include participant identifier or messaging address fields that are used for chat, SMS, WhatsApp, or Group MMS participants. For this participant type, send only `ChatbotConfiguration.*` fields.

### Possible causes

* Your request includes `identity`. Use `identity` only for participants who communicate through the Conversations SDK. Verify Agent participants accept only `ChatbotConfiguration.*` fields.
* Your request includes `messagingBinding.address` or `messagingBinding.proxyAddress`. Use these fields only for non-chat participants such as SMS or WhatsApp participants.
* Your request includes `messagingBinding.projectedAddress`. Use this field only for the Group MMS participant pattern that pairs `identity` with a projected address.

### Possible solutions

* Remove `identity`, `messagingBinding.address`, `messagingBinding.proxyAddress`, and `messagingBinding.projectedAddress` from the request when you create a Verify Agent participant.
* Include only `ChatbotConfiguration.*` fields in the participant payload for a Verify Agent participant.
* If you need a standard Conversation participant instead, use the correct fields for that participant type. Use `identity` for a chat participant. Use `messagingBinding.address` with `messagingBinding.proxyAddress` for an SMS or WhatsApp participant. Use `messagingBinding.projectedAddress` only for the Group MMS participant pattern.
