How does the InteractSMS Gateway API work?

The InteractSMS Gateway API allows clients to send messages through an API integrated into their system. Below, we outline the stages a message goes through when sent from the client's system.

Stages of Message Transmission:

  1. API Log-in Credentials:

    • The client will receive their unique log-in credentials for accessing the API. These credentials serve as the key to unlocking the gateway to seamlessly integrate SMS messaging capabilities into their application. The client can securely log in to the API using these credentials, enabling them to efficiently send and receive SMS messages through the InteractSMS Gateway API.

  2. API Integration:

    • The developer seamlessly integrates the API into the client's application, allowing the client application to create SMS messages using parameters retrieved from the client database.

  3. Security Setup:

    • Enhanced security measures can be implemented by setting up the firewall on the client's end. This helps to establish a secure connection between the server and the API, ensuring the protection of outbound messages.

Detailed Workflow:

A visual guide is provided below to illustrate the step-by-step process of sending an SMS message through the InteractSMS Gateway API:

 

  1. Customer Environment:

    • Customers utilize the API within their server or desktop setup.

  2. Client System:

    • The client system consists of the database and essential infrastructure needed to communicate with the API.
    • An administrator POSTS the data into the API URL for processing.

  3. Internet Communication:

    • The client's system establishes communication with the API through the internet, enabling seamless interaction between the two entities.

  4. API Interaction:

    • The API communicates with the Mobile Carrier Network to transmit messages.

  5. Message Routing:

    • The SMS message undergoes processing at the Short Message Service Center (SMSC) before being successfully delivered to the designated recipient.

By following these guidelines, clients can seamlessly integrate the InteractSMS Gateway API into their systems to securely and efficiently send SMS messages.
