Trying to set up SMS gateway inside of GPSWOX program and it's asking for the Clickatell url - I used the "Curl" url and placed in the box.
However, when I tried to test the sms it didn't send me anything. Does anyone know if this format is correct?
Thanks
The format is nearly correct. You should use:
https://platform.clickatell.com/messages/http/send?apiKey=******&to=%NUMBER%&content=%MESSAGE%
You can test it by pasting the example url in your browser (with NUMBER and MESSAGE replaced of course)

I am setting up a computer system app which will send SMS alert. One can select:
Service type: HTTP, SMTP or SMPP. I've been told to use HTTP.
HTTP(S) Method: Post or Get. I've been told to use Get.
HTTP(S) URL: I believe that https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01 is correct
HTTP(S) Parameters: gives an example:
username=xxx&password=xxxx&mobNo=%xxxx%&message=%[message]%
I am told that the "%" entries are just part of the mobNo and the message and are not to be entered separately.
I've been using:
username=[my Twilio logon email address]&password=[my Twilio pasword]&mobNo=[myTwiliomobNo]&message=testMessage
I get an error when I send a test message with this that says:
"HTTP(S) parameters filed must contain %mobNo% and %message% for Mobile Number and Message fields"
So, something must be wrong and I suspect the HTTPS parameters as there seems to be nothing else in question.
What should it be?
After much back and forth with folks at Twilio and EventLog Analyzer, it's been determined that the two are incompatible. EventLog Analyzer has a "canned" / programmed interface to the SMS provider and Twilio can't accept the outputs.
I rather get the idea that the SMS market is aimed at web programmers and not users.
I have to perform load test on a Sign UP API using Jmeter.
Sign Up asks for:
valid cell # where system sends SMS code for verfication
Valid Email address where user receives a link for verification
Can any one help for this scenario.
Thanks in advance.
It might be tricky, however you can consider a 3rd-party application like Spikko or 2nr and use mobile automation framework like Appium from JSR223 Test Elements in order to get SMS text from the mobile application. If you don't have a real phone you can use an emulator like Bluestacks or Genymotion
For email it is way easier, JMeter comes with Mail Reader Sampler so you can fetch an email from any real box and extract confirmation URL from there, check out How to Create a JMeter Script to Check Email During Registration AND Grab the Confirmation URL for more details.
You probably should use JDBC Request and get from DB the code/link sent.
But if it's not possible, for email you can concatenate to same gmail +${UUID()}. Gmail at least support sending to same mail if have different suffix:
Here are two different ways you can modify your Gmail address and still get your mail:
Append a plus ("+") sign and any combination of words or numbers after your email address. For example, if your name was hikingfan#gmail.com, you could send mail to hikingfan+friends#gmail.com or hikingfan+mailinglists#gmail.com.
Use Case SMS leaves my platform and goes out to a receiver (SMS). I would like to attach some sort of custom identifier so when the user responds back to the SMS..and my platform received the message..I know how to internally route the response back in my platform.
Any ideas?
Maybe set up a system where when the code is sent out
For instance:
Code - 11832
The user then has to enter this code on your website. A program will then match to see if it's the identical code. So you are then able to log the information
No expert on this though and Where is your code ?

There isn't really a great way to attach an identifier to the message itself. You could force the user to prepend/append a code in their reply, but depending on your specific scenario that might not be a great user experience.
Another option is to save the to/from phone number as a unique pair when you send the message. Then as your application receives replies you can check the incoming to/from phone number against what you saved.
Hope that helps.
I am trying to send a rich text message via Twilio. I am able to send regular SMS messages, but I want to include a hyperlink in the body of the text.
I tried the twilio mediaUrl to include an rtf file, but that didn't work. Including html in the body of a message doesn't work as it just sends in plain text.
I'm posting via curl to the twilio endpoints, so i'd prefer not to have to get into PHP or some other language to achieve this. I just want to send raw data to twilio and receive a rich text message back, if it's possible.
Twilio developer evangelist here.
Using Twilio you can send MMS messages to numbers in the US and Canada. When you pass a mediaUrl the file needs to be hosted somewhere publicly on the web and it will then be included within the message.
You can pass files of any of the mime types listed here, though when sending RTF the result will depend on how well the receiving device supports RTF files.
If you want to include a link, I'd recommend shortening the URL (using bit.ly or similar) and just sending it as part of the text. Most smart phones will auto link the URL. Built in SMS apps on phones don't support markup of any sort, which is why your attempt with HTML just showed the raw markup.
Let me know if this helps at all.
There is a ton of data on this subject where you simply take the phone-number+#mobile-carrier.com and send a message, that is not what I am looking to do.
I want to send an SMS, from the command line, in this case, using php, but I would be happy to use bash, and will probably make it into an app or plug in for Safari eventually. Right now, a test case would suit me fine.
I would like to do something like this:
./sms 619-555-1212 "this is the message"
I don't need to receive the message back to the computer, this is a sending only agent.
The criteria that makes all the data I find on this not work, is that I want my correct from: number to show up. I have tried using the email gateway method and changing he from: headers, but it appears they are stripped at the gateway.
I don't mind paying a service to give me certain amount of SMS credits to make this happen. I want to avoid any hardware, where I would have to get a modem or otherwise to connect to my computer.
If I do use a service, something with an example of how to do so within their API would greatly appreciated. I feel this should take me no more than 15 minutes, but I am hours into research and not getting very far with all the little scripts out there that do nothing close to what I want to do.
Thank you very much and sorry that I don't understand this protocol to the best of my ability.
You can send with Twilio using cURL very easily since sending SMS is a simple POST request with three parameters. Here's an example of a bash script that makes calls but could be modified to use the SMS API instead. http://labs.twilio.com/bash/
(I work at Twilio)
you will need sms gateway like http://www.clickatell.com/ for that
You can use any gateway that charges you a few cents for every message sent. They have a simple REST API which requires a very little coding. They even provide you a sample example to get started.
