Connecting a BurstSMS Channel
BurstSMS, now Kudosity, offers SMS on Australian and New Zealand numbers. Connect a number you have with them to send and receive messages with contacts in either country.
Before you start
You'll need a number on your Kudosity account, along with its API key and API secret, which are on your Kudosity settings page. If you've only just signed up, you'll need to set your API secret there first. Kudosity's developer documentation covers its API.
Adding the channel
Go to Settings > Channels and click New Channel. BurstSMS is under SMS & Voice, or you can type its name in the search box. If it isn't listed, check Show other regions.
Then fill in the form:
| Field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Country | The country your number is in |
| Number | Your number, with its country code |
| API Key | Your Kudosity API key |
| API Secret | Your Kudosity API secret |
Click Add Channel.
Finishing setup
Once the channel is added, its configuration page shows three URLs to set in Kudosity, so that messages and delivery updates reach your workspace:
- Receive URL: in your number's Inbound Settings, choose Yes for Forward to URL and enter this URL.
- Delivery URL and Reply URL: set these on your settings page.
You can come back to these URLs at any time from the channel's page.
Considerations
Messages are sent as plain text, and long messages are split into several. Any attachments are sent as links.
