Smstools

Smstools is a European bulk SMS gateway: it sends text messages to phone numbers, keeps the contact groups a campaign is addressed to, receives replies on numbers you rent from it, and bills the whole thing against a pool of credits.

Authentication

  • API credentials

Actions

Generic API request. Call any Smstools API endpoint on this connection, for the case where no shipped action covers it yet - the WhatsApp Business endpoints, voice messages, subaccounts, conversations, workflows, message templates, opt-out lists and webhook endpoints all live behind this one.

  • Add sender IDRegister a new sender name or number on the account, so that sends may be addressed from it.
  • Create contactAdd a person to a Smstools contact group, so that a later smstools:sendmessagetogroup reaches them.
  • Create groupCreate a contact group, the audience a bulk send is addressed to.
  • Format numbersDestructiveTurn locally written phone numbers into the international format Smstools sends to, and find out which of them are real mobile numbers.
  • Get balanceRead how many credits the connected Smstools account has left.
  • Get messageLook up one message you already sent and find out what actually happened to it.
  • Get statisticsRead how many messages the account sent and received over a period, as two counts.
  • List contactsList the contacts stored on the account: phone number, name, birthday, the eight user-defined fields, and whether the person has unsubscribed.
  • List groupsList the contact groups on the account, which are the audiences a bulk send is addressed to.
  • List inbox messagesRead the messages that arrived on an inbound number the account owns - a virtual mobile number or a hosted SIM.
  • List message historyList the messages this account has already sent, with the delivery status each one ended on.
  • List sender IDsList the sender names and numbers this account is allowed to send from.
  • Search contactsFind contacts matching a keyword instead of paging the whole address book.
  • Send messageSend an SMS to one or more phone numbers you supply directly - the headline action of this connector, and what an alert, a one-time passcode or an appointment reminder reaches for.
  • Send message to groupSend one message to every contact of a Smstools contact group in a single call - the bulk path, for a campaign, a school closure or a shift change, where the recipient list is maintained in Smstools rather than assembled by the workflow.

Triggers

  • Message received (webhook)Starts the moment a text message arrives on one of the account's Smstools numbers, pushed by Smstools' inboxmessage webhook.
  • Texts to your numberAnswers as an agent by SMS: when someone texts one of the account's Smstools numbers, the agent replies to them from that number.
