Transactional SMS request example

Send an immediate SMS to your contacts
with or without parameters,
with or without attachments.

The sending can be done synchronously – this is the default mode.
Or asynchronously – in this case you will only get the “queued” response and sending will be done later with a background service.

POST /transactional/SMS/send

Request URL:

https://api.inwise.com/rest/v1/transactional/sms/send

Example 1 – Simple send, sync mode

"message": {
    "content": "BODY of the message",
    "charset": "unicode",
    "to": [
      {
        "mobile_number": "972-54-1111111"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Example 2 – Send, with async mode

    to: [
      {
        "mobile_number": "972-54-1111111"
      }
    ]

      }
    ]
  }
,
	"async": true,

Response code

If everything goes well, you should get a success response code 200 –  response url as the model schema

Response code 401 – response url = “you are not authorized to use rest API”

when send Async mode:

  • “queued“. final status and reject reason should be then retrieved from GET methods.
  • “sent” (when ended with success)
  • “invalid” (when error in the phone number) + “reject_reason”: “invalid-number”
  • “rejected” (when refused sending for unsubscribe reason) + “reject_reason”: “unsubscribe”
  • “rejected” (then number is marked as kosher – refused incoming message) + reject_reason”: “kosher-number”
  • “queued“ + "reject_reason": “insufficient-funds” (when no credit to send)

* There are more reject reasons as: exception, invalid_mobile_number, bounced, unsubscribed, no_credit, cancelled_by_user, kosher_number
