MessageIntent is not supported in the Java SDK

[esther-tock]

In order to pass the MessageIntent field when calling Twilio API, we need this field updated in the twilio Java SDK.

MessageIntent field is public Beta, it could have breaking changes.
Let me check internally when it will be made public or how you can test it.

Hey @sbansla, Following up on the MessageIntent field. I saw the note in the PR that SDK support will be available once the feature is public, and that pre-GA access may be available through a separate channel.

Do you have any update on the timeline for general availability?
We have a blocking use case that requires explicitly setting MessageIntent. Currently, Twilio's automatic classification is assigning these messages to Level 1, even though they should be Level 3.

This is causing user impact because messages are being delivered during quiet hours. We've observed users receiving SMS notifications as late as 11 PM on Saturdays. I am looking to use MessageIntent to enforce quiet hours as documented here https://www.twilio.com/docs/messaging/features/compliance-toolkit#:~:text=enforce%20Quiet%20Hours.-,Message%20classification,-If%20the%20message

Is there an ETA for GA, or any interim workaround that would allow us to override the classification?
