How to integrate our SMS Gateway API into your systems

Introduction

In general, adding SMS as a method of communication to a system is very useful. For example, it has no problems filtering spam and does not need someone to provide an instant response like a phone call, making it ideal for alerts and activators. Another good application for text messages (text messages) that is often seen is the ability to use it as a way to update a system or retrieve information without having to use any device other than the mobile phone, which one will work. This is done using a short code.

Consider this example:

You own a fake Temporary Employment Agency with several hundred people in your books. Your client has asked you to complete a specific task, such as a receptionist. I sent an SMS:

Reception coverage is required for 2 weeks 4 hours per day at £ 10 per hour, Bristol location. Respond with “More 4567a” for more information.

The last part (more than 4567a) is the information that allows us to automate things, the keyword is used more to identify it and the code will serve as reference for this task. A potential candidate can answer (in this case) you can:

Send more details of the job description.
Update the database that this person is a potential candidate.
The person has expressed interest in the receptionist and we can assume that she may be interested in other reception functions so that she can begin creating groups that can be used for guidance later.

Implementation

So, how do we configure an SMS gateway and send messages? Luckily, it’s easy.
First you need a (free) and complete account. You will get the username and password you need, as well as some free shipping. You must also request an API URL.

Then, use the associated API (sometimes called SMS Gateway) for your message. This is a simple HTTP GET request that can be sent through http or https. You will need a url to encrypt the message.
http: // <request the url>? username = myUsername and password = myPassword & number = 447777777777 & message = Receptionist + cover + required + for + 2 + weeks + 4 + hr + per day + +% 40 +% C2% A310 + per + hr% 2C + Bristol + Reply + with + 22more + 4567a% 22 and original = 88802
