Configure a custom provider (Beta) sms-configuration-custom

AVAILABILITY
Custom providers are currently available as a beta to selected users only. Please reach out to your Adobe representative to be included in the Beta.
Note that this Beta does not support inbound messages for opt-in/opt-out consent management and delivery reporting.

To send messages in Journey Optimizer using a custom provider not available out of the box by Adobe (e.g., Sinch, Infobip, Twilio), follow these steps:

  1. In the left rail, browse to Administration > Channels and select the API Credentials menu.

  2. Click the Create new API credentials button.

  3. Configure your SMS API credentials, as detailed below:

    • SMS vendor: Custom.

    • Name: enter a name for your API Credential.

    • Provider AppId: enter the application ID provided by your SMS provider.

    • Provider Name: enter the name of your SMS provider.

    • Provider URL: enter the URL of your SMS provider.

    • Auth Type​: select your Authorization type. Supported Authorization types are Bearer App or Basic.

    • API Token: enter the API Token provided by your SMS provider.

    • Provider Payload: add your provider payload, e.g., {"from": "+1234XXXXXX", "to": "+1374XXXXXX", "content": "This is a test message", "contentType": "TEXT"}.

      Make sure the payload includes {{toNumber}}, {{fromNumber}}, {{message}}.

  4. Click Submit when you finished the configuration of your API credentials.

  5. In the API Credentials menu, click the bin icon to delete your API credentials.

  6. To modify existing credentials, locate the desired API credentials and click the Edit option to make the necessary changes.

After creating and configuring your API credential, you now need to create a channel surface for SMS messages. Learn more
