Sending SMS Via SOAP API

[#1]

HI,

Adobe has implemented NetSize as sms provider withing AC. Is there a way to trigger API calls from Adobe to send SMS? if so what is the WSDL Schema for that ?

thanks

Hi,

Depending on your use case, you may want to look into licensing Message Center for transactional deliveries, which was purpose-built for low latency, high volume simple API-driven messaging.

You can also make a makeshift Message Center by spooling requests to a queue table and processing them from a workflow with a near-realtime (e.g. 1 min) schedule. WSDL would be ordinary CRUD to the table, i.e. xtk:session#Write. A less maintainable option is to roll a custom API endpoint via schema def + js to instantiate templates and deliver them.

Thanks,

Thanks John, we do have Message center and we are using that. The scenario here is that we will send SMS reminders to the users when they sign up to get text messages. Does the text messages uses delivery schema? I am trying to trigger text messages via Adobe API.

*Jon. SMS isn't special here, Adobe needs to configure the SMS external account for your provider on their MC exec instances. From there, just make ordinary SMS delivery templates and publish them to the execs, calling them with nms:rtEvent#PushEvent or nms:batchEvent#PushEvents.

Thanks John, one more question, the template that the SMS message center will be used is that a message Center delivery template right( Mode External or Bulk)? Is there any documentation anywhere for leveraging Message center to send SMS?)
