SMS Messaging API
HTTP API to send and receive SMS messages to every country in the world.
Deprecated API
Although, this API is still supported, we suggest using a more modern and feature-rich Omnichannel API for sending SMS messages.
Overview
- Make an HTTPS request to SMS Messaging API
- Check the response code and store
Message IDto match DLR later - SMS is sent to the handset
- Handset responds with Delivery Report (DLR).
- If configured Messente forwards the DLR to the callback URL.
