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.

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

Once configured, you can leverage all out-of-the-box channel capabilities such as message authoring, personalization, link tracking, and reporting.
