# 50373: No Messaging Service assigned to Conversation

Log Level: ERROR

## Description

This Conversation does not have an assigned Messaging Service, therefore cannot accept non-chat participants.

### Possible causes

* You may be attempting to add a non-Chat participant (e.g. on SMS) to a channel from Programmable Chat. As Chat precedes the Conversations product, these channels first need to be provided a Messaging Service before they can access SMS, WhatsApp, or other channels.

### Possible solutions

* Update the Conversation with any existing Messaging Service SID on your account. After that, you will be able to add non-Chat participants and continue the conversation with them involved.
