Messaging

The SMS API supports the following:

HTTP Methods

POST - When you send a POST request with the end user’s phone number to the messaging subresource, We sends the SMS message you specify.

Services

Types of services and their values are listed below:

• T - Transactional Messaging.
• P - Promotional Messaging.
• S - Transcrub Messaging.
• G - Global Messaging

Country code is mandatory to be included in the to paramenter for global messaging and optional for indian numbers. If country code not found, default 91 will get appended to mobile number.

Before you start sending transactional SMS through this API, please test whether your content is matching a template which has been pre approved. Otherwise, the SMS will end up being rejected.

Templates

Now you can send message using template id of the predefined template created in your account.

Example template as follows:

 Dear {{1}}, Thanks for registering with us. Your details as follows {{2}}, {{3}}.

While sending sms we need to pass the variables in the api url then content will be replaced automatically in the template as below.

Ex: variables=["laxman","laxman46XXXXXX@gmail.com","891952XXXX"]

Note: Variables in array must be in order created in template. Even blank values also will replace if we specify in variables array.

```
Dear laxman, Thanks for regisitering with us. Your details as follows laxman46XXXX@gmail.com, 891952XXXX.
```
