Sending more than 100 000 SMS messages a month?

Phonebook API

Phonebook API enables you to use our blacklisting feature and manage contacts and groups

Groups

Every contact in the Phonebook may belong to one or many Groups, which makes it easy to send targeted messages just by selecting the Groups you want.

You can think of Groups also as Labels that each Contacts can have.

When sending message to multiple groups, Messente only sends one message per Contact. This means you can send messages without having to worry about duplicate messages being sent.

Using the Phonebook API you can

List all Groups
Create a new Group
Update an existing Group
Delete a Group

Bear in mind, that when deleting a Group, all the Contacts remain in the Phonebook

Lists a group
