Retrieving messages from the twitter connecter resultes into 403 – Twitter API

I have successfully registered the twitter connector with my app and created a user. I’m able to send tweets and the test and info apis both work. Only when I try to retrieve messages the connector returns the following result:

{"Status":{"twitter":{"status":417,"info":"417 Connector returned error: 403 Forbidden"}},"messages":{"twitter":null}}

I send the request to /v2/message/retrieve with the following json body:

{"uri": "unified://twitter"}

    The problem was that my twitter app didn't have DM permissions. I just saw Read & write and thought that would be enough.

    If someone has the same problem, go to your app settings, change the permissions and regenerate your personal access token.

    curl -XPOST https://apiv2.unificationengine.com/v2/message/retrieve -u USER_ACCESSKEY:USER_ACCESSSECRET –data “{“uri”:”unified://UNIQUE_CONNECTION_IDENTIFIER”}” -k

    Can you please check if the above command works for you? The 403 error is returned by twitter (https://dev.twitter.com/overview/api/response-codes).
