MSG-242

Any chance of getting SMS enabled on my sandbox account. Trying to do a POC to see if RC suits our needs.


Thanks!

I enabled it locally but it seems not working. Please try from your app and if it fails, submit a dev support ticket and the team will help to enable it from our SMS upstream service.

Hi Matthew,

I believe your sandbox number is still not provisioned. It takes longer time now because the team is getting to the bottom of the issue and solve it once for any new sandbox phone number.

Your patience is much appreciated!

The team just notified my that the number is provisioned. Can you run a test and let me know if it works or not.

New question. Are they any webooks so can be notified of incoming SMS messages? Or need to Poll via Api?

Expanding on this a little bit. Is there a way to get notifications of status changes of outbound SMS. As in we have sent an SMS through the API.. can we subscride to a status change event. Looking at the Notifications Types, is it to do with Message Event? as in I would have to subscribe to /restapi/v1.0/account/{accountId}/extension/{extensionId}/message-store?type=SMS&direction=Outbound

to receive status changes on sent messages? would that be correct.

and for Inbound SMS the event is

/restapi/v1.0/account/{accountId}/extension/{extensionId}/message-store/instant?type=SMS

I'm confused as to why inbound SMS wouldn't just be (whats the difference between Message Event and Instant Message Event?)

/restapi/v1.0/account/{accountId}/extension/{extensionId}/message-store?type=SMS&direction=Inbound

and ultimately if I would like to subscribe to any Outbound SMS status changes and any Inbound SMS, can I just do one subscription and 2 event Filters? something like


POST .../restapi/v1.0/subscription
{
"eventFilters": [

"/restapi/v1.0/account/{accountId}/extension/{extensionId}/message-store?type=SMS&direction=Inbound",

"/restapi/v1.0/account/{accountId}/extension/{extensionId}/message-store?type=SMS&direction=Outbound",

],
"deliveryMode": {
"transportType": "WebHook"
}
}
