Clickatell SMTP (Email to SMS) API
Tags:
sms, SMS API, smtpIf you want to send SMS from a legacy server, the best way is often with a server-generated e-mail and so SMTP is the connection you need. This is the industry standard used by operators to interconnect for high-volume messaging. It’s also particularly useful for notification alerts.
What you can do when you connect via SMTP:
Like all our APIs, the SMTP connection supports text, Unicode, binary SMS and flash messaging.
It gives you support for extended length messages.
You’re able to use our converters to turn ringtones and logos into the correct format.
You can use our VCard and VCal converters.
Delivery acknowledgement and sender ID can be set up.
You will have access to gateway escalation which prompts an escalation to an alternative delivery gateway, should the message be delayed for a predefined length of time, and queuing which lets you specify up to 3 prioritised queues according to which your messages will be sent out.
Delivery delay gives you the ability to specify a delay of up to 7 days when sending messages.
You can set up batch sending.
While two-way messaging is not a feature of SMTP you can always make use of HTTP, FTP or SMPP to receive incoming messages.
